It looks like howrealisreal proved the point of the original poster for them - from what I read here it doesn't seem like the original poster is saying they have all the facts - what they're doing is asking you to back up your "facts" (quoted ex: "where did they come up with this historic name?") with a substantial reference (rather than an aol reference) before putting it in something that's supposed to be an "encyclopedia", and you just proved their point for them.
As for signing posts - well remember you could sign a post with an IP address, but that means nothing because millions of aol users could have that exact same IP address on any given day, so it really makes no sense to sign an IP address on to these comments because you can't distinguish who it belongs to.
