name-snatching

Hi,
I have just come back from vacation and seen that someone ELSE is posting as archivist. For the record, I am the archivist that has ocasionally posted over the past several months. This new archivist, whose posts have provoked a discussion the past week or so, is NOT me.

Of course, the question can be asked, 'who is me?' The format of this board permits identity theft, or name theft, and I guess that's something that we have to live with. Trouble is, a poster who consistantly uses the same handle builds up a degree of credibility over time -- or lack of -- and it is a shame to see someone come in and ride on that, and possibly besmirch a good name.

It would be nice, on an ideal board, for people not to snitch other people's handles.

Oh, the pitfalls of anonymity.

Anyway, I am not that person.

cheers.

The REAL archivist
