Hide real name on mail list

Hi, I have recently sent an email to the scipy-user mailing list, and my real name was displayed, even if I made sure to set my username to something else during the subscription process. I would really like this to be changed; my real name to be removed and the made-up username to be shown instead (or nothing!). I find it confusing to choose a username that is not displayed anywhere, displaying instead my real name taken from the email account. I would really appreciate it if you could remove my name from the previous post. Thank you

It's because of the email address you are using includes your info in the header. Please also use an anonymous email address for which you haven't filled in your personal details (if this is a concern). Best Ilhan On Oct 11, 2017 21:37, "Ant" <antoniy.py@gmail.com> wrote:

The mailing list is hosted by python.org, so if you want any change to the archives you'll have to contact their list admin team -- I think you can do that by emailing mailman@python.org. -n On Wed, Oct 11, 2017 at 12:35 PM, Ant <antoniy.py@gmail.com> wrote:

Thank you, I have sent an email to python.org. I have since changed the email informations, but if you ask me it is still confusing to ask for an user name during the signup process and then use the information from the email headers. In any case, thank you for the quick reply and have a nice day! :) On 12 Oct 2017, 01:06 +0200, Nathaniel Smith <njs@pobox.com>, wrote:
