>The poster I referred to might be the Olympic gold medalist, Summer Sanders, or she might, coincidentally, have the same name (an unusual name), or she might be using the Olympic swimmer's name as her screen name, or something else might be going on that I haven't thought of. I think that assuming someone else's identity should be prohibited on this site.
But then how is one supposed to know which is the appropriate situation unless one knows who she really is? Would you like it if Dr. Bob made sure you were really who you called your self on this site? Well you might, but I for one prefer my anonyminity. What does it matter anyway??? Would you think it justified if it turned out that that was indeed her real name? Should Dr. Bob breech her right to anomnity because you want to know if that is her real name or not. Sorry if I am just butting in but do you really perceive this to be a problem? Is she going on about how she took steroids to win her medal or something???
