NXO...Can you please tell when or where have I talked about "Mahesh"??? Because I can't remember...He's a very good ABAP contributor...I got nothing against him...Or against his name...Which really seems real to me...Please, explain yourself...

In your post that I replied to there is a link that goes to the business card of someone called Mahesh:

Ok...That's extremely weird...That BC was pointing to someone called <b>I can solve it</b>, but know it points to Mahesh...But Mahesh already exists...It seems that <b>I can solve it</b> change it's name to an existing one...

Sorry about this NXO...I came to tought that you were a Flammer trying to put me againts Mahesh...A big sorry man -:(

I'm drinking some Whisky and Crush...Taste very good -:) Or you can try Mountain Dew and Rum -;)

There is absolute no connection to the question asked and replies expected after a few couple of replies. Which is kinda funny to read ...

Oh come on guys and girls - stop being so serious about real names!

Surely answering questions and helping people is really the main reason for being here.

I hide my name as my boss visits frequently to post questions - do I want to show him I'm not doing any work by using my real name?

Even if the name you looks real, I'm sure 9/10 times it's made up for the same reason I give!

Stop this thread and get back to answering those questions....

Ok...Your name is really funny LOL And true -;) There's only one F in FICO -:P

This is a professional community, so we encourage the use of real names...Your point is valid...You boss visit the community often (Good for him)...And you want him to catch you here...So...Why can your boss be here and you don't??? Are you here just chatting or looking for solutions to your problems???

I work as a Freelance so I actually have no real "boss", but everytime someone tells me that I spend too much time here, I simply answer that I'm looking to improve my knowledge by answering and reading post in the forums, and by reading weblogs....Trust me...It always work -;)

Also, this is the Coffee Corner, a neutral place to talk about the simple joys of life....And funny names seems to be a good example for a topic -:)

It's not same when you answer to Alvaro Tejada rather to Scripting Languages Wizard right? Things get to go more impersonal when you hide your real name -:)

Good point about " Why can your boss be here and you don't???" it's because I've answered questions he's asked!

It would be inappropriate for him to know it was me - he's too proud to come and ask me directly. Like you I'm a freelance/contractor but there is always someone that pays the invoice!

I look as if I'm fairly new here but I forgot my user id and had to register a second time. I've been posting answers to questions for over two years now. Mmm yes you're right a real name would be more personal. I'm sorry. After 12 years of using SAP (yes I've seen R/2!) I just thought I'd brighten someone's dull moment!

I'll change my name to a real one.

Will Alice Cooper do?

Actually your real name should be part of SAP delivered code:

i.e. SAPLBUPA_DIALOG_JOEL aka SAP BP Dialog: Joels Mainten. Interface

I guess if everyone is using fake names, then maybe I should change mine to Lord Vader before it is taken

I DO (waving hand in the air). I've worked with SAP for twelve years for some very large organisations - Exxon Mobil, TotalFinaElf, Cable & Wireless, Vodafone, Barclays, Transport for London and I'm female.

(Can you guess who I am yet? No?, ok good)

I've submitted my real name to forums before and don't tell me how they do it but I've been the victim of fraud!

OK - female. My wife does the same sort of thing, so there's one reason.

Actually, it doesn't matter female or not - identity theft could happen to anyone.

When it happens it's quick - 5 accounts were setup in a week and it took me about 2 months to finally sort everything out. I can think of better things to use my time.....

I don't think <b>David Halitsky</b> is breaking any naming convention, his is a genuine name and userid.

Alavaro was not meaning that "David" was a fake name he was making a joke about the user's name from his link "I Solve It" and the sometimes complicated problems that David brings up in his threads - the ones that require a good amount of thinking to catch. David is quite well known for those complicated problems here in the community.

you just can't enforce that without requesting a passport copy and even then, who knows what an Algerian passport looks like.

Judging it by the plausibility of names, are

Wu Tan

Lisa Noalot

Kentikli Krentoli

'real names'? Who knows...

In the end it makes no difference for me if someone on the web 'tags' himself <b>Charles Huber</b> or <b>a€luva</b>

Hi,

If the only possibility is to register via an S-number one wouldn't have this situation nor X users for the same person (for whatever reason).

Eddy

true, but this would confine the target audience to such users who already have a (commercial) relation to SAP. thus it excludes students, sneak preview users, freelancers, ...., simply all interested who do not (yet) have a relation to SAP.

I'd rather live with Jane Doe.

In that case identity should be proven. At our place, each userid needs a proven identity.

I don't see why people need to hide their real name.

Eddy,

these is of course a valid policy but it puts some negative restrictions on the possibilities to communicate with you.

Imagine, I just graduated from school and I am interested in some biosience engineering study. Amongst others I find that the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven offers an interesting program next year called 'Master of Nano-sciences and Nano-technology'.

Now what I wanted to do these times is to read all the carefully presented information on your website but also get in touch with people there, fellow students, to ask them about their experiences, assessment of the professional as well as social life and whichother things interesting to me.

Sadly I can't because there is no public forum at that site at all. If there were one but I had to fill in a lot of personal information and even send in a photocopy of my passport, I'd ask myself why? I just want to get in touch with like-minded people to discuss things and not give away myself to the whole apparatus.

I suppose you got my point. It depends on the target audience and the services you want to offer to them. This place here seems to have a more loose policy to target the interested general audience and not only customers, partners or in general people who have to engage in a formal association first before letting them take part.

my 2 cents,

anton

btw, very professional and informative site of your employer!
