It's clearly unacceptable for someome to pretend to be a different
person in order to promote the interests of a real person. I'm
surprised and actually shocked that some people can't see that.<br>
<br>
As has been pointed out, the consequences of that sort of
behaviour can be significant.<br>
See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_%28Internet%29">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockpuppet_%28Internet%29</a><br>

As an excuse "Lerato" said she thought emails sent under her real
identity had been blocked. That sounds like an allegation of
censorship to me. But she was never blocked from this list. From
all evidence so far, it just looks like she at some time she just
forgot which of her email addresses was subscribed and sent a
message from the wrong one. All you have to do when you get such a
bounce message is to resend your message with the right FROM: line
to correspond with the email address that you signed up with.<br>
<br>
Creating a completely fictitious persona in order to promote DCA's
application on the list is misbehaving in my book. <br>
And the question now in my mind, is who /else/ knew of the true
identity of 'Lerato Ma' at the time 'she' was promoting DCA's
application for .AFRICA on the list.<br>
