I just wanted you to know that I -- you on this, and I almost never vote on AM posts.

First your tone is rude and confrontational ("if not more"??) but you hide behind your anonymity.

Whether this was a good idea or not it was an honest and well intentioned one and deserved to be responded to with the respect that tye for instance showed.

why you care so much about whether you know who posted what

Well, thats quite simple actually. I like to know who posted what so I know what nodes I should go out of my way to read, and also who I should ignore. If you dont want to identify yourself then your comments will be probably be underappreciated. Which if you actually know what you are talking about is bad for the community. But then again, I have no idea if you do know what you are talking about because you dont identify yourself. Yes most people learn based on posters knowledge and contribution which posters actually have something worth reading, something that we cant learn when you hide behind the AM.

CAVEAT: I am well aware that there are those that for a variety of reasons _cant_ (or rather for whom it would be very risky) to use a consistant identity. So be it. The above only applies to those who do it for other reasons, or no reason at all.
