I know we are not suppose to sit and whinge but I decided to set up a
ppa with some dapper backports and this involves joining the launchpad
beta testers team.

This has three conditions the first of which is:

You use your full real name as your Launchpad display name.

This is really grim, and worse than use your real name as it means
people can't even use gender neutral abbreviations such as Alex. I note
that Canonical's Billy Cina is a member, she's possibly lucky that she
wasn't made to call herself Belinda. 

Trying not to just complain all the time
