It's one thing if an individual decides to sign up under a fake name but
quite another thing when the organization is suggesting and even providing
fake names to use. I know it doesn't make a difference what name you goto
the meeting under but imho its wouldn't be right for PLUG to do this. If a
company is gracious enough to provide meeting space for free then the
least we, as an organization, can do is abide by the conditions they've
given us. Again, just mho.
