I would not be a fan of the alias tracking. My alias was once my real name and I went to a pseudonym for a reason.

>>I don't think it'd really be possible to have a complete listing of alias changes, though. If I remember correctly, administrative logging of alias changes was added in 2000. That's a good thing for some of us who used our real names in the beginning. Who ever heard of webcrawlers back then? Then comes along altavista, and there are all of our off color posts gloriously displayed with name attached. Some of those would be tough to explain to the kids... like some of the headlines (no pun intended) we invented on the "Did Slick Boink Monica" thread. Fortunately, they no longer appear in most search engines. Then again, I guess some of my apprehension has been mooted since the story concluded with Slick teaching our children that "it" ain't sex. Ask any school boy who he thinks the greatest president of all time is.....
