I don't usually get involved with discussions like these, but I honestly thought that what the OP was saying in his first post was correct in that Guests should use a consistent Guest handle in threads. I'm sure this was discussed at length a couple of years ago, but I see now from the clicky in Joe's post that Max is OK with guest posting. That info had passed me by, and perhaps gnu hadn't seen it either?

I do agree with JiK though, I try to ignore them.
