I agree.

The suggestion of the "submit button" content depending on the session status seems a good one. It at least helps those who intended to post as an identified recognize that they are no longer identified. That makes sense and can be done without having to get into the underlying broader issue of 'anonymous' posting, the debate over which will probably still be going long after we have evolved off what we now call the web.

I too dislike anonymous posts. But I ain't going to fight that battle. Making it simpler to not accidentally post as such seems like a positive thing to do without stomping on any other point of view.

...the majority is always wrong, and always the last to know about it...

A solution is nothing more than a clearly stated problem...
