There are perfectly valid reasons to permit anonymous
postings. You can chose to ignore them.

Funny how many people lose their principles of free speech and anti-censorship
when the views expressable and expressed due to those principles don't closely
align with their own.

I tend to find the anonymous comments more useful because at least I know those
comments aren't from some exclusive clique of yes-men and women. It doesn't
take much effort to filter out and ignore the trolls.

I'm the anonymous poster who made the MSRP comparison. I do
have an account, I just don't remember my login and I was
trying to make a quick point from work. I'm a regular reader,
just an irregular poster.

No. I will not block anonymous comments, even
though they can be a burr in my side too.

You are a member, though, so you can block them.
Just look in your preferences, and you'll see
that members can turn off anonymous comments so
they no longer see them.

Well, I mostly post anonymousely due to a lazy streak to log in but when I do I
tag it. Just putting a tag helps follow a thread through. It is noticeable how
fast the anonatrolls post and they are quite recognisable/

You can register, or

you can simply sign your post!

Anonymous posters post that way because they _want_ to be anonymous. PJ grants
them that right. Those posters can and do offer some interesting insights,
especially those who must keep low profiles for various reasons, like risks
associated with their employment. I value that input.

Trolls never sign anything. They must be ashamed of their opinions.

You can usually detect them:

1. They ignore inconvenient facts.
2. They use rhetoric instead of logic.
3. They jump to conclusions.
4. They propagandize.
5. They are mentally ill (just kidding:)

So you judge on the name, rather than the merits??? (n/t)(Christenson)

(Christenson), not being terribly anonymous!

I have been here from the first (4 months after the start).

Once I had an account Pencil_Nebula but it was long ago removed along with a lot
of other accounts for low usage.

Now all that is left is Anonymous or not at all.

Unfortunately, I must post anonymously because I am involved in at least some of the litigation discussed here. My employer has asked that I not post in an identifiable way lest I either a) appear to officialy represent a position they do not hold, or b) say something that makes things more difficult for the attorneys.

While I'm sure I would not do these things, history shows everyone is sure they would not do these things so I respect their caution. I would be disappointed if Anonymous posts were prevented.
