But how would we know which AM postings are tilly's?

That's the point, isn't it? It doesn't matter that we can't tell tilly wrote them; the posts stand on their own merit.

Oh, certainly he could. What's your point?

That there is nothing to be gained by eliminating anonymous postings. That, in fact, you can't really eliminate them anyway.

I wonder if there are people who will defend both the XP system and anonymous monks.

Sure, I will. I have. You probably know that. Your musing seems to imply you think that they are somehow contradictory. I don't, but I'd be more than happy to hear your reasoning.
