That's patronising to those of us who have been in this field for years,
Kris.
I'd love to be able to post as 'myself' but I can't since this would be
regarded as personal mail.
If you want to look at mailing lists which are useful but are full of
aliases, nom-de-plumes and generally odd-looking 'names' I suggest you
take a look at Bugtraq and friends, http://www.securityfocus.com
No-one there complains, everyone knows pretty much who everyone else is
and very few people post using 'friendly' names. I guess it's just the
nature of the beast.

The great thing about this list is that there are a large number of
people here with (a) lots of Cobalt experience, (b) lots of Linux
experience and (c) lots of web-hosting experience.
The worst thing? I would've thought that's pretty obvious.

As long as the content's good and useful, I don't care who the emails
appear to come from.
