But right now, we can't even have a decent >election here for all the anonymous crap... Ok, but you sort of sidestepped my question. There is a difference between an anonymous user (#1) such as myself who uses WorldNet (not a free Email provider) and it is obvious that I am anonymous; and a "real sounding name" anonymous user (#2) who uses a free Email provider and it is not obvious that this user is anonymous. We have to be careful with our choice of words since anonymous has two different meanings here. And when people use anonymous #2 to refer to message and voting abusers here on CCC (and anonymous remailers elsewhere on the net), it is extremely easy for anyone reading the message to confuse that with anonymous #1.
