Ms. [off topic]

[Peter A. McGraw]

In defense of the anonymous e-mailer who's been getting some barbs for
using a "pseudonym": The screen name "LJT777 at AOL.COM" doesn't look like a
pseudonym to me.  Rather, it looks like one of those computer-generated
screen names that AOL and CompuServe suggest when you first sign up for
their service.  You can either accept the default name or try one of your
own, which may or may not be accepted, depending on whether another AOL (in
this case) subscriber has already taken it.  It can take several tries to
find a name that's available.  Some people may just take the line of least
resistance and accept the default.

(In that case, of course, it's good netiquette to give your actual name
somewhere in the body of your message.)
