Please don't turn this thread into a flame.

If I understand correctly, you said you hide your name because you can't use your real name and using some limited ASCII replacement makes you unhappy.

I said you can use utf-8 in the user.name field and showed you an example about this.

Instead of replying to this, you just did not quote any parts of my message, but started to talk about you don't want to show your real name at all. What's the point of doing so?
