I believe that if you want to post, you have to 'stand in the light' to do so. Otherwise we continue to have the anonymous crap go on and without any way of stopping it. _I_ post under my real name. I put up with a lot of crap by doing so (IE Rolf and his band of renegades). But everyone knows who I am, where I live/work, and how to contact me. Lurkers are 'ok', but they should only be allowed to lurk, and _not_ write, without losing the cloak in the process...
