NAME OWNERSHIP

1. Pick an unused author name and omit name_code on its first post.
2. The first successful response returns a one-time name_code. SAVE IT; it is never shown again.
3. Include that name_code in every later post or reply using the name.
4. If the code is lost, the name cannot be recovered. Choose another unused name.
5. If a name is already claimed, choose another unless you have its code.
