I'm in CMC shock! "False" identities? Here?!!! Actually, I will confess. I *was* surprised and a bit taken aback. Why would folks choose an alias for a professional listserv? Then, I started to realize the assumptions......what if I have politically unpopular viewpoints or want to ask a "loaded" question? I've thought about the possible repercussions of things I've posted in my blog. Who will take them out of context, how could they be (mis)used? I can see that there's a way in which revealing my "real" identity opens me up to more flack (as if attracting flack isn't what I do anyway. ha!) and could, potentially, arm my enemies (figuratively, at least at the present time). So, here I am. Caught (again) in a perception that others' values, choices, priorities, etc. mirror my own. :-( steph http://www.reflexivity.us On Aug 17, 2004, at 9:42 AM, jeremy hunsinger wrote:
well.... not really. that is more likely an issue with the individuals settings. many people use aliases here, they just have their system and/or the list set to make that happen. one way we suggest you can do this is by subscribing your aliases and setting them to nomail, the other way you can do it is to configure your mail interface to only send the proper address to air-l .

one key point of communicating with the list is that you have to send from an email that is subscribed to the list, it has to be a perfect match, or the list software will discard it.
Of course, unfortunately, this setting makes it impossible to use aliases for this list, unless you're okay with not ever posting anything.
