the standard "Anonymous Coward" as Slashdot rightfully dubbed it

I am happy this isn't Slashdot, and I disagree;
Anonymity is a good thing in this place, see:

On PM you will find (among some Anonymous Cowards - agreed) a number of Anonymous Contributors, Anonymous Donors, Anonymous Enquirers, Anonymous Inquirers too, Anonymous Petitioners, Anonymous Sceptics, Anonymous Skeptics too, Anonymous Example Code Testers, ... in short, Anonymous Monks.
