=========================================
Hello Roy,

 RW>> That is true, but then, those in the know already knew her name.

 LL>> Doesn't matter how many folks already know or knew her name.
 LL>> Ross had no business mentioning her real name in the Fidonews
 LL>> echo, or in any other echo.  She is not the subject of debate.

RW>Apparently she is, as Ward also mentioned her name and even
RW>corrected my version of the spelling. You can stand down now and
RW>nobody will notice.

Ward mentioned her name *after* you and Ross had already done so.
She never should have been made the subject of debate, her real name
never having been mentioned at all by by anybody (including Ward).
However, if anybody could be excused for having mentioned her real
name, it is Ward since he is her father (or claims to be).

 LL>> Nor should she be.  Especially since she is a non-participant.

RW>Non-participants are spoken of quite often in Fidonet.

Ward's daughter is not a celebrity or a public figure.  As such,
discussion of or about her is off limits, or should be off limits.

RW>Do you have a point or are you just posting to be posting?

I made my point loud and clear.  It is you who has a comprehension
problem.

 RW>> Now that you made a mistake in your judgement of the facts and
 RW>> you've been corrected, you can move on.

 LL>> The facts are clear.

RW>In that case, there is no reason for you to carry on with the
RW>subject if Nelly-Belle...

Poking fun of an individual's real name is a new low, even for you.

 LL>> As such, you are both guilty.

RW>Yawn.

If that explosion in Texas didn't wake you up, I don't know what will.

RW>FOAD!

Such appeals to sympathy will not sway me.  While I am indeed
very sorry to hear that you are suffering from Fetal Origins of
Adult Disease, the facts remain the same.  It is off limits to
post the real names of non-participants (aside from celebrities
and public figures).

But hey.  Keep pounding that keyboard.  Shout to the world, in
all caps, what it means to be a Texan (even if only a transplant
from California).  It might even cure you of your fetal disease.
