Wanting to limit AM's is senseless. If you are reading posts and are more worried or interested in who the author is rather than what they say, then your attitude is no better than what you accuse them of.

Personally, I see your post as at least as deleterious as any AM poster who is trying to avoid downvotes (if not more). Heck, I don't even bother to log in most of the time any more, and when I do I hardly ever vote. I've posted more AM posts in the past few months than signed posts because I'm just not interested in the XP "game". If it wasn't for the ability to AM post, I probably wouldn't have bothered to post some or all of those. Other's may have other reasons for AM posting. I guess the big question you have to ask yourself is why you care so much about whether you know who posted what, and what are you prepared to lose to have it that way?

Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!

Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
