I think that anonymity leads to poor posts, since accountability is nil, could cause extremely serious problems, since we occasionally have real votes, and leads to other distractions as well. I brought this issue up once before and it seemed likely that I was in the minority, but I predict that we will have to deal with these issues for real eventually. bruce
