You apparently missed the thrust of my sarcasm.  You can't tell what is
or is not a pseudonym online.  For all I know, "Bruno Desthulliers" is a
pseudonym.  While I recognize that there is some social advantage to
linking consistent identifiers with people, I have I think understandable
irritation with people who insist that names follow certain patterns.

(For those joining only recently, my full legal name is "Aahz", which I
changed from my former name precisely because of attitudes like Bruno's.)

to post the wrong information.
