Falsehoods programmers believe about names: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-believe-about-names/ > You have been warned. And you should consider the irony, and hypocrisy, of somebody who signs his posts "PointedEars" bitching about supposed "real names". How do you propose to tell the difference between "real" names and "fake" names? If BartC signed his posts "Engelbert Humperdinck", "Cher", "Thomas Lahn" or "Bartholomew Roberts" how would you decide whether it was "real" or "fake"? Petty bigotry over "real" names is no better than any other sort of bigotry. -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
