Hello Paul. Personally I don't know nor do I understand your motives for
requesting such a thing. A person's nickname or handle does not indicate
their degree of seriousness in the study of the Hebrew language. Likewise,
a person with a full name in their email or signature does not make them
any more "safe" or "dedicated" to serious discussion. I think that the
logic you use is flawed and reactionary.


Thank you.
