I am still working on a draft of NCUC's response to Task Force 2 on the concerns/uses of WHOIS (domain name registration) data. Again, I ask your help. In many cultures and histories, there is a history of political and personal writings that take place under "pen names" -- pseudonyms that conceal the true identity of the writer (often so that people will focus on the message and not the writer). <BR>
<BR>
In the US, we have Samuel Clemens who wrote "Tom Sawyer" and "Huckleberry Finn" books under the pen name Mark Twain. And James Madison who wrote the political "Federalist Papers" under the name Publius (basically Anonymous) to let US citizens know about the new US Constitution being drafted in 1788. <BR>
<BR>
** If there is a famous pen name -- for political or personal writings -- in your culture, could you please send it to me in the next day or two? <BR>
<BR>
Many thanks, Kathy<BR>
