To add another point: This is a community, albeit a virtual one. When I talk to MMM, I am reasonably sure it is the sae MMM that I've had serveral conversations with over the past several months.

If we allow people to pose as others, then the surity that we are conversing with the peson we intend to recieve our message, then there is no comminty. No trust. So, why have names and accounts at all? Why have to create an account and log-on? Why have avatars and the rest? Isn't that the entire point of this site, to communicate with a community of others who share a common interest? don't we ban those who misuse the site and take advantage of our trust?
