Eric,
Can you elaborate on this a bit? Which is the problem you see, with respect to
user names and also how will the IVS help the situation? I would think there
would be some stability issues as well...
If you can point me to a thread or spec that addresses what you are refering to
that will be sufficient.
I know a bit about the IVS, I just want to be clear on how you see it bearing
on this.
thanks.
(I am traveling so my ability to respond is limited.)
