jerryfriedman to Anton Shepelev:

Please, amend your name in the From: header from
`jerryfriedman' to `Jerry Friedman'. It only takes a
minute yet saves many readers many an annoyance.

I can't do it with this Web interface.

Dear Retro Guy, can you please help Jerry to setup the
normal spelling of his name in the From: header, if he so
desires?

Not quite: the signature separator is duplicated. Perhaps
Rocksolid is insering one automatally, and you should not
specify it yourself a second time.

Now Jerry seems to post from two different accounts, one with
his correct display name, and the other with the old one,
e.g.:

as jerryfriedman : <088a0acabf5d731deb697647b1ab8b46@www.novabbs.com>
as Jerry Friedman: <3bcac7514b4cc3c9988f38334d33436f@www.novabbs.org>

Can this have to do with your keeing more than one web
gateway to Usenet, i.e. the .com and .org websites? They
seem to confuse users...

They are two different servers with two different user databases.

He'll need to make the same change on the other server to change his
username.
