Brian, I think you are being way too hard on yourself. I think that you have achieved plenty with Ax. Personally I love the fact that I can get up to date news and views from around the world and have made a number of new friends across the globe. The idiots become more salient on this board because they are the exception rather than the norm. Axers are generally better informed and behaved than posters on the other boards I have checked out and full on flame wars are relatively rare. Thank you for your hours of work and sweat. They have allowed me to have hours of enjoyment. Also this is one unreliable Ax volunteer who is trying very hard to get his act together. Should have a couple more articles up in the next 2-3 weeks but need you to answer the e-mail I sent so that I can sort out that problem.

In regards to the topic. I really don't have a problem with aliases. At the end of the day everyone is bound by the same rules and if they break them they face the same consequences - whether they have filled in their profile or not. If you don't like how they play - contact the moderators.
