i.e. more than half of the total users seem to be orphaned users..?

I said it was a convenient way to reduce the number of orphaned users, not eliminate them. I suspect that ratio would be much worse if Anonymonk didn't exist.

The suggestion was made to prevent posts of AM in *some* threads. Noone suggested AM can't *read* posts. The 17914 users mentioned by AcidHawk never posted - I fail to see how that number will increase if AM can't post in some threads.

I didn't say it would. I only suggested the number of orphaned accounts would increase. I suspect there would be a sharp increase in accounts with one post. Or accounts with just a few posts (often all in a single thread.)

It'd be a paco epidemic.
