Should Anonymity be allowed on the board?

Matt,

I think on the old board there were some exceptions, but it was largely "put your full name by your posts unless you are well known". I think there were some occasions/reasons where Leon would be okay with a person that requested only Leon to have the info, but the predominant practice was to require full name unless you were known.

I do believe that was better than having everybody on a only-Leon-needs-to-know basis.

That does sound familiar - I must have mis-remembered. It was so long ago.

In my judgment, the current rule as applied by Leon strikes an appropriate balance between the competing interests. My personal preference, however, would be for folks to make known their full names if, for no other reason, than to facilitate meeting other hobbyists.
