: McSpotlight claims that authentification procedures would be impractical but doesn't mention why. Whoever used my handle to answer Scott Day's posting is even more lame. This has happened before and all McSpotlight has to do is peruse their log analyzers and not reply at the end of my disclaimer posting where most people can't see it.If one looks around at other discussion forums it will be evident that there are procedures in place to prevent that sort of thing from happening.: Here's a source to look at other discuusion forums and see for yourselves.Hopefully McSpotlight will consider my request to delete the fake posting and maybe they'll even reply to my private e-mail message.
: If they can't then maybe they've become as cumbersome a bureaucracy as McDonald's Corporation.Let's hope that that isn't the case.
We have replied to your private e-mails - IN PRIVATE. The role of McSpotlight is not to HAVE to filter all mailings for identity etc, whoever is 'guilty' of impersonating another mailer to this DR is contributing very little to this board but the board should be able to navigate their sad attempts at humour - it is the content of messages that are the structures of your arguments not your name, however it is annoying and unfortunate that it has happened. More importantly is that this episode is making it patently obvious that this impersonator is incapable of either making, participating in or winning any form of discussion.
As to deleting the fake posting - this isn't really worthwhile since it is now obvious to all that it is fake. The message has a new validity and identity since we all know it is not you. It would be abhorrant to have to wipe out ANY entry once accepted - just another form of censorship would be the cry.
If you have any further thoughts on this post (in private again - we WILL reply!) to
M.
