Personally, I have trouble believing that (unless we have independent
evidence that they also sleep with a 44 Magnum under the napkin).
In any case, personally I don't really mind which nickname people use in
most of the day by day correspondence on the mailing lists, but I find
entirely sensible for FSF to have on file genuine data about the
contributors. Like any other profit or non-profit organization, as far
as I know.
