Lol, I had to Google PMFJI :P

Doesn't matter, in practice its all about a real-sounding name as nobody can
prove someone's posted-name is real. We don't check for ID...

Even that doesn't matter to a mod that doesn't like aliases since its
extremely difficult to moderate an echo especially if its peered in a mesh
with many other systems.
