Hi Jai,
Thanks for writing back, and commenting on this phenomenon.

So you see that you have a problem on Math Forum,
because when Math Forum
picks up an external thread it changes the poster's
name, according to
MathForum's user database, which is incorrect and
wrong.
We designate usernames based on e-mail addresses.
Increasingly, posters obfuscate those addresses by design -- or simply make them up.
So ... what mapping do you propose we as an alternative for assigning usernames?
Or perhaps discussants have -- knowingly or not -- recycled the same fake e-mail addresses?
Please e-mail me at richard@xxxxxxxxxxxxx, off group, to elaborate -- as you wish.
Thank you for your patience,
