No, doesn't appear to be. What's the problem?

Yea, I was about to respond. It's ok now. But access was down for at least an hour or so.

As long as I'm allowed to post "anonymously" here, I will continue to do so. Otherwise, I refuse to sacrifice one of my real E-Mail addresses just to post here. The idea that in order to keep things "unique and consistent" requires a real E-Mail address, instead of a meaningless none harvesting pseudonym, is IMO, nonsense. Who gets to be "Dane"? Dane of course, he was here first. Who gets to be "Dane2" or "Dane3" or "CEO of Sonic"? Me, I guess. :)

Dane, this looks about normal for Usenet. Congrats on the successful port to phpBB!

Depending on your account services, you may have some free mailbox accounts you could set up. Those are just as capable of logging in, and you don't need to ever look at the mail sent to it.

You may have other reasons to prefer staying anonymous, which is fine, but if it's primarily the email address you are worried about, there are other solutions.
