I do not think there is a real-name policy on the kde lists. In case there 
is, it should be described somewhere (I did not find it) and can be 
enforced by the list maintainers.

I personally feel that the standards about how we ask and respond to posts 
are what counts. It should not matter if this is done anonymously, 
pseudonymously, or with real names.

test at dminart.net: I think you should not even need to justify yourself.

(Totally off-topic: IMHO, you could be a bit more forgiving and considerate 
about kmail's design choices: what you see as deficiencies usually have 
valid underlying reasons. You come across as having formed an opinion 
without having considered those reasons.)

Werner: I think that last remark was not appropriate: test at dminart.net has 
responded to your mail with an argumentation that shows they have thought 
about it and made a (valid, I would say) personal choice. I personally feel 
netiquette is not about being open about who we ‘really’ are, but how we 
behave in conversation.


Cheers,
