Theos-Talk Archives (September 2004 Message tt00370)

Dallas:

That was my understanding as well.

Suppose I see a msg on a maillist, which I suspect is posted by someone 
using a pseudonym (it does happen all the time in the maillists and 
internet posting - especially when provocative or radio active subjects are 
discussed or opinions posted), I do not think that it is appropriate to use 
any psychic mind/thought reading process to investigate whether the poster 
is using his/her real name or using a pseudonym. It is true that when the 
person was composing the msg, he/she would have generated the thoughts 
which would be somewhere in the Akashic Records.
