GUEST,Celtic Soul BS: GUESTS (97* d) RE: BS: GUESTS 09 Jul 01


I think the thing that is most troublesome in this media vs/usenet is that ones e-mail address is not automatically listed. *Anyone* could sign on as a guest, post whatever handle they wished (even one that a subscriber already has), and create whatever mayhem they so decide in the name of another person.

I feel that censorship is not the way to go, but I am also feeling trepidatious at the fact that nasty folk can remain so anonymous.

Polite anonymity, however, is not a bad thing. I am a newcomer here, and I do not post with my real name. I have issues with that information being listed on the internet.

I appreciate the ability to read and post when I am not near my very own cookie at home, but am wondering if maybe that is not a perk I could do without for greater safety. I dunno.

What do you all think?
