Dear Yassin,<BR> <BR>You asked: "<strong><em>is there anything you wish to contribute..?"</em></strong><BR> <BR>My answers:<BR> <BR>It is unfortunate that the only aspect you have noticed when I joined this discussion is for advocacy purpose. I am sorry to tell you that this vision is purely myopic. My sudden appearance in this discussion should rather tell you that it is not for advocacy reason since, as you know very well, I have a lot to do and guys on the list are copiously dealing with the issue of date. You know, this list is made up of several groups of people with different interests. Historians would be interested in DATED EVENT; IT guys would use it to PROMOTE IT; politician would find clue for policy making; sociologist would study the social activities of the members of the list. You (Dr. Yassin Mshana, with all the due respect) can be a character under study by psychologists on this mailing list. Who knows? By the way I am an IT person and my interest in the issue of date is elsewhere. I will not share it with you <img style="vertical-align: text-bottom;" title="Smile" alt="Smile" src="http://gfx1.hotmail.com/mail/w4/pr04/ltr/emo/smile.gif" width="19" height="19"> (LOL) since you have made your conclusion that I am in for advocacy.<BR> <BR>In deed I have a lot to do and I thank you that you have not pointed out that I am wasting time on “NO ISSUE” rather on “petty issues”. “Petty” leads debatable stands. What is “petty” to you could be “gargantuan” to somebody. I am convinced that you will agree with me on this. <BR> <BR>Your petty answer to the question " WHEN did you know that Lerato was not who he or she claimed to be?" is needed to take the discussion do different level.<BR> <BR>Cheers<BR> <BR> <BR><br>Marcus<br> <BR><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">Date: Wed, 9 Jan 2013 14:40:40 +0000<br>Subject: Re: [AfrICANN-discuss] Time for Revelations<br>From: ymshana2003@gmail.com<br>To: africann@afrinic.net<br><br><div>I was just advising you...not to waste your time on petty issues - I presume you have a lot to do just like everybody else.</div>

<div> There is no 'question' to answer - I am doing this since I noticed that you emerged into this discussion recently as an advocate - is there anything you wish to contribute..?</div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Yassin,<br><br>As far as the use of pseudonym the world of Novel is brought into this issue of date, I don’t think that referring to a best practice or a standard we should emulate from the noble world of academics is out of place. <br>

<div>Hello Marcus,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Just to add a bit on this in order to bring you up to speed on this issue, this is not a case of an academic information/ issue we are dealing with - keep to the good area of academics and its publication rules which you know about evry well by now.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If I may advise you, just keep on the pure and truth way of academics which I respect very much - let business issues be dealt with accordingly - otherwise you will confuse the Two.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Kind regards</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Yassin <br><br></div>

<div dir="ltr">Dr Yasin,<br> <br>I do agree with you that pseudonym is used in Novel world as well as several fields such primary school classrooms, football, in politics, you can complete the list. In the Academia, research world you know better than a lot on this list, or in the arena where people are serious, to any pseudonym is attached a reference date. <br>
