Are mlb, Pugrambo, Double Chevron et. al. concerned about someone else using "their" aliases - is this "real" identity theft, or just a bit of a laugh?

On balance, I'd prefer not to register, as I don't know how safe it is to give these guys my email address etc. - could be identity theft going on whether you register or they do it for you!

I was wondering the same thing Armadillo. A fellow aussiefrogger told me they saw my name listed as the newest member earlier this arvo so apparently my aussiefrog username has already been taken. I tend to feel "don't feed the trolls" as far as participating on their mock forum. When the new aussiefrogs forum gets going I might eventually ask to change my username anyway.
