i must agree with Abigail-II. and don't give me any whiney nonsense about not being able to post because of work. with all of the monks about and the general ease of obtaining a shell account somewhere and the ease with which one could write: 

$ reply -node 1234 -title 'bull' < my.reply

[download]
and have it SSH somewhere else and post from there.... do people actully believe that tilly had to post as Anonymous? why could he not post as bluebell? would nobody have said 'psst! tilly, go to https://www.somewhere.org/cgi-bin/7582jdksdf82leucnslstr6elsn/in.cgi you can post as alkatraz'

i dare the gods to turn everybody into Anonymous.

the information at this wonderful community has signal and noise. Anonymous is pure noise.

give them a cookie, make them Anonymous20031123001, anonymity is kept, signal is increased.

if you don't want to play the XP game, go to your preferences and turn off the damn nodelet. presto!
