Should Anonymity be allowed on the board?

[Matt]

I'm assuming the argument for allowing anonymity is that there are those who contribute to the forum who would not do so if they were required to expose their name for all to see. While I certainly would appreciate it if everyone at least exposed their first name, I'm OK with allowing anonymous posts for the additional content it brings to the forum. I can think of several good threads that may never have taken place if real names were required to be exposed (e.g. Skydash).

If the board is about baseball cards, and it should be, then there shouldn't be a need for anonymous posting. It's mostly the OT stuff or the threads that go wildly OT that devolve into name-calling and anonymity. I can't see a reason for it under the stated purpose of the board.

I voted no but after reading Leon's last post I can think of several well known collectors who might not want to post with their name out front. So in retrospect some anonymity might be ok subject to Leon's oversight.
