There's one more thing that puzzles me. Whenever I post something, in 
the main window which lists a group topics it doesn't show my name, 
just the name of the usegroup (unlike with other people's posts).
Below I quote my original post which includes my config files.

The other thing is how could I set it up so that my email address
wouldn't appear in the header (or I could write a dummy email there)

thank you
