So if you keep advertising that you'd give information to people with "proper" introduction I won't be surprised if ill-minded people start logging here giving thorough but false information about themselves and getting the info they need. It might be better to keep quite and just don't give information to people that you think should not have it.

Everybody who is making serious herpetology should be able to prove himself worthy of having certain information by
simply NOT beeing one of the bad guys...
