Hi Frank & Pete

Although the rest of the forum is probably sick
to death of this subject I have to answer yr
msgs which addressed me.

1. Frank: When talking about anonymous msgs and "fake names" 
of course I didn't mean things like a Viet American taking 
an English name to make life easier. In fact in my msgs
I talked more about "fake identities" - there is a difference.

(A Viet guy I know went to extremes - he is just a garden-variety 
Nguye^~n but took the name "Lawrence Newton" ! :)

2. Pete - may John Hancock's spirit live for ever - I stand 
corrected for my too-ready lashing of America's good name!

Cheers
Tuan Pham
