So it would seem to me that the test is whether the person suffered economic harm due to the slander and libel, not whether the anonymous name was libeled. One can win a lawsuit and not win any damages, or be awarded a nominal sum. I believe you could libel 'Mama Bear', but since I derive no economic benefit from this pseudonym there would be no damages. Of course SI Admin would get you. -g-

Hey, I could be wrong. I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on teevee.

Regards,

Barb
