Why? If someone is not being abusive, who cares? Your entire reasoning appears flawed. Even with real sounding names, you cannot have accountability, you cannot enforce it, you cannot even guarantee that all of the names you currently have in the group are real, so what is the point? I have received an Email as well from a person who did not like anonymity, however, this is not a requirement for this group. My belief is that anonymity bothers some people cause "they don't know". That is the real crux of your message Bruce. It has nothing to do with accountability or voting or anything else except that it bothers you (and possibly a few select others). Are you afraid that I am secretly Sean? Heaven forbid! Have a nice day :) KarinsDad > >bruce
