>The name is more real than the display profile name on the message though. I don't think it's a good idea to question new members on their authenticity. It just chases them away and substantiates the claims made by members of other vfp forums. Most people do not want to display their real name and information on every message they post in online forums.

For UniversalThread the idea was to use the real name / address info unlike other online forums where you can use a nickname.
