Theos-Talk Archives (May 2005 Message tt00461)

The only right thing for using a nickname is, that you are "ünvisible"
for searchmachines, otherwise I think one person uses nickname cannot 
take seriously, in cause of the take care off (responsability) of 
his or her writings.
For now everyone can say "What is a name"?'It belongs to 
personality,individual insight and developement in our TS, so for 
that we don't need to fake a name.
