That's true, though some people have used names like BillBradford  
Bracken. Anyway I don't see this as anymore limiting than the fact  
that e-mail addresses cannot be your real name either (at the very  
least, they have weird characters in them, and usually have a domain  
name that is not part of your real name, unless it's some vanity addy  
that you're paying extra for).

Webservers and domain names cost money, too. That is also "real"  
money for "virtual" property, isn't it? What makes this so different,  
to you? Anyway, see the other posts I sent to the list this morning  
on this subject.
