No offense, but that is my policy, like it or not. The more anonymous users, the less info I am willing to part with. Yes, it would be more consistent to always be anonymous, but on small mailing lists where I know many people personally in "real life" I'm not so concerned. Here I'm willing to provide info to the moderators on request, and on someplace like Usenet I provide nothing at all.
