Still, if someone uses his real name on a public mailing list, I don't
see how using that name in conversation at Wikipedia is a violation of
privacy. If Waerth doesn't want his real name to be public, he
shouldn't post on public mailing lists with his real name in the
"From:" field and in his e-mail address.
