How do you know that "Hadmut Danisch" is not a pseudonym?
Quite easy: Do a whois query on danisch.de. Once my relay is
covered with a RMX or a signature, you know (at least with a certain 
level of reliability) that the mail from hadmut(_at_)danisch(_dot_)de has
anything to do with that guy mentioned in the whois entry.

it doesn't tell you a thing.  you can use a pseydonym to get a domain
name.



No, you can't. Domain providers/resellers are required to put the
real name of the owner in the whois database. And imprints must 
not contain pseudonyms. At least in Germany
and as far as I know in Europe.

This might be difficult to understand for you, but it is a
consequence of all other people's rights and freedom.
