"Frankly, I post things anonymously sometimes because I am embracing one of the Key Principles of Perl: Laziness. :-) The site does not oblige me to log-in before snapping off a reply, never asks me for a password when I don’t, so I don’t."

So, you have proposed, many times now, that we get rid of a feature you use?

"The site sometimes drops logged-on sessions without warning. Poof ... anonymous."

As requested several times, prove it. It's never happened to me in 10 years.

"we’re all capable programmers"

Another claim I've yet to see you provide evidence for.

"Trying to second-guess what other people do and/or why they do it is probably a waste of time and code-complexity"

Yet here you are, once again doing the very thing you claim to be a waste of time. Please stop claiming you're interested in doing things in the best interests of this site. You repeatedly ignore posting guidelines and have provided no proof of technical issues you report or patches for what you claim are issues.
