> Answers to 3 to 4, I have already clearly stated: I did not strategize to sockpuppit. Answer to 1 and 2, yes I have taken an assumed names. I have seen recommendations to do such on the TV news and on at least one popular web site. (No, I do not remember the wheres and whens.)
Typically, aliases are rarely used on professional forums. However, I
don't generally have a problem with folks using them, although I tend
to be more hesitant when clicking any links that they provide.
However, the forum response at Modern Analyst was written on July 23,
2007, by AJMarkos and signed "Tony". Richard Lewis has been posting on
TechWhirl since last September.
If, when you first referred to the article, you included the words "I
wrote" somewhere, I wouldn't have a problem with the reference. It's
the fact that you use an alias here and refer to an article that you
wrote on another site where you posted under a different name that I
have a problem with.
