When everyone on the Internet was a gentleman, as in they would adhere
to a "gentleman's agreement", then "supposed to" meant something.  It
still does, to you and to me and to the rest of us who are still
gentlefolk.  But there are many on the Internet to whom it means
nothing, and no real ways to police and enforce.  Which is both good
and bad - what if it were proclaimed that screen names like "monday11"
[is that the same one you used before?] were outlawed?  ;-)
