This is new to me. I have never seen anything illogical in it. Which publications have I missed?

eugene. You must put your real name into the signature, it´s a forum rule. Deleting threads in whic I ask you to do so and reposting the content again in a new one doesn´t help. You still must put your real name into your signature.
