It's been done with a complete lack of respect for the system asking for
user human readable names.  It's  unnecessary and counter-productive
disregard for etiquette of communication in a community. You might not find
it offensive, I do, I'm sure others do as well.

Once some users start disregarding good etiquette you too often see others
behaving in a similar way and things start breaking down.  When we do see
unpleasantness in the OSG community it's almost always down to a small
number of uses being dis-respectful or manipulative, then others seem to
think that's OK and join in and use similar emotive and aggressive language
.  It's far better to nip stuff like this in the bud and set out what is
appropriate etiquette than let things slip.

And isn't the real name the one in the 'from' field?

Only for those who follow the mailing list, the forum just uses the
username.
