Hello,

He made an assumption. Assumptions do not prove theories. Your "confession" does not convince me either. It you actually were a user posing as a sysop you would say the same...
My usual response tp messages with an alias in the message header is the "next" key. I made an excaption for you as you do not appear a "lost case".

I am with you on this. One of the nice things of Fidonet is that it is NOT the the "social media" on the Internet. And that includes the tradition of using real names.
So I look forward to seeing your next message with a real name in the header.
