"I yam what I yam"
       Popeye


I will NEVER understand what those who refuse to take a name or become a member feel they are protecting themselves from. Some folks cannot accept cookies (as on work computers, perhaps), but you do not have to provide any information that will 'identify' you personally, if you don't want to.
   Martin Gibson was a member for a couple of years and NO ONE was able to pin a 'real' name on him, although some sure tried!

I guess if all you are gonna do is be obnoxious and petty, or if you have deep paranoia because you really ARE Donald Rumsfield, it makes sense...but abuse of the posting privilege..(yes excessive 'guest' posting ARE abuse of the forum) will eventually cause a change in the rules so that it is impossible.

Sometimes it can be fun to use a funny name for a temporary joke, but in the last few years 'guest' has become just a refuge for those whose goal is more disruption than fun.
