Per say Fellows, Why should a MOD REMOVE it. Is it not the POSTERS right to post what he feels is correct.
Seems he has the "right to post what he wants". ??
Did his post violate some RULE of the Forum? Then it should be REMOVED.
If it did not VIOLATE a RULE. it should be left as is.

Just my opinion.
A valid line of reasoning of course.
I'm not much of a disciplinarian personally, but in this instance I felt somewhat responsible because I'd asked the OP to paste the output of a particular command line. I didn't say "make sure your account name is actually your real name - first, middle, and last", nor did I suggest they should also be in their profile directory structure when they executed the command (thus making the username part of the prompt), nor did I tell them to screenshot the entire window, thus revealing the output, and the prompt, and their full name :)
But, as Tews pointed out, there's an obligation on me, as the one who supposedly has a little bit more experience than the OP, to protect them from themselves, especially when my instructions may have inadvertantly led them to do something slightly silly. His name was rather unique too - not exactly John Smith, as Antman pointed out.
I had a little look and it turns out there's an addendum to the rules which discourages or even prohibits the use of full real names:

All combined, I felt it was best to flag the post and hence to let moderators ex3rcise their superior judgement. That's why they get the big bucks
If you think I was wrong, I'm totally open to considering a different viewpoint.
