I remember my first time. Rather than calling out everyone's name to take attendance, our substitute teacher for our high school History class just passed around a paper and had everyone write their name on it. In addition to the usual students, also in attendance were such luminaries as Mary Wanna, Seymore Butz, Phil Latio, and Hugh G. Rection. I kept it fairly tame and merely signed in as Ben Dover. (As I recall, my sister Eileen was also there.) The usual teacher was able to match up the fake names to the perpetrators pretty accurately. We were assigned some nominal punishment: some five-minute menial task plus one extra homework question for each fake name. That came out to just one extra problem for me; I think the max was five. But it was worth it to hear him call out many of the fake names in class "to see if there were any new students".

Dear
Ben Dover ("
Ryan McGuire")
However, you may not have noticed that we have a policy on screen names here at the ranch. It must consist of a first name, a space, and a valid last name. It must also not be fictitious.
Unfortunately, your screen names (
included in your Signature) do not seem to conform with this policy. Please take a moment to change them.
Thanks,
So what would you like to say..
