Default Anonymity- should it be allowed ?

Posted By: Rich Klein

You know, I'm a firm believer in people IDing themselves. However, it seems to me that many of the issues brought up by the anon posters have had major effects on both the board as well as the buisness. We have learned a lot we would not have known otherwise.
One suggestion I would support is that sometimes a writer wants to post something "controversial" but may not want his/her name out there as the poster so if that person writes to Leon in advance and then explains why they want to post ANON it is a matter cleared by Leon.
So, while in a perfect world we all should ID ourselves, in reality --- sometimes being an ANON (in this case, as long as Leon knows about the post and the poster in advance) works for the common good

P.S. Trust me in this computer world, there are no secrets for a long term
