Hello list

Maybe the username page could be protected against any
edition done by any other user except the logued in
user. If the logued in user is abusing us in posting
insanity, discussion with him would be enough to drive
him out of the idea. Just like some users were asked
by the community to change their user name because it
did not please the community. The choice of a user
name and of a user page content is free as long as
community is happy with it. Similarly, regular sysop
have no possibility now to change a user name; why
would they have the right to change the content of the
page ? The user name and the user page are his image.

Yours
