http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=14029 --- Comment #14 from Boris Zbarsky <bzbarsky@mit.edu> 2011-09-06 04:47:39 UTC --- Glenn, I have no way to verify that the person commenting on this bug has anything to do with that callsign, or with the address associated with that callsign. More importantly, it doesn't matter. Your identity as an amateur radio operator, as well as your postal address, are completely irrelevant to your activity in the W3C. You may not care that you have to make your mailing address public as a condition of participation in certain fields of endeavor or in certain discussions, but other people most certainly do care. And for people living in many countries (of which the US is thankfully not one), the ability to participate pseudonymously may be quite important indeed. As for ad-hominem arguments... this whole bug report starts with an ad-hominem argument, as far as I can tell. From what I see, your issue is with the mere existence of a pseudonym, and your last comment just reinforces that. I don't see how that existence makes patent claim issues any more complicated than they already are, as you claim it does in comment 0, and you don't seem interested in explaining what the real issues the pseudonym is causing are. If there are any, and not just random prejudice against pseudonyms on your part. -- Configure bugmail: http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.
