Sorry Rich - I forgot to reply to your e-mail.

I would rather not go to a registration-based system or require real names. I don't have the time or resources to manage something like this and it's hard enough trying to publish the timetables. I have absolutely no interest being in the business of running a discussion board. I'm happy to provide the discussion board as is, because it's usually low maintenance.

Also, on the issue of using aliases to hide your identity, I have no problem with it. In fact, if you want an alias to your alias, that's OK too, unless your intention is to be a troublemaker. But please, no more than two usernames per person.

The person with 12 usernames (and probably many more) was intentionally trying to fool people. This has been going on for over a year, maybe even two years.

He would pose as other people affirming his original position, so that it appeared he had an audience of supporters. Sometimes he would do this three or four times in one thread! To me, this is nothing short of deception.

I wish people would realize what happens when they cause trouble here. Today for instance, I spent 2 hours tracking this guy's IP addresses not including the time posting these messages. I could have been working on future timetables. Not only are they making life difficult for me, they are delaying timetables that many people are waiting for me to finish. This is a lose-lose-lose situation.

I would never come to your work, waste hours of your day, preventing you from getting paid for that time. So please don't do the same to me.


Thank you for listening,
David Curlee
