- I'm not particularly "worked up" over this issue. I am (a)
- trying to figure out just who (general terms) the class of pseudonymous
- WELL users is; and (b) are there any implications of this
- sort of in-between policy on pseudonymity? I figure this is the
- right newsgroup to discuss such things.

-
- Explain themselves. Other than that, nothing different than
- they are doing. They may be up-front about their policy
- if anybody should ask them.
-
- >I don't get what you want to have happen.
-
- Then go back and read my posts to get a clue. I haven't
- suggested that I want the WELL to change.
