I disagree with Mr. Offer. I don't believe using multiple online names in a chatforum breaks any federal, state,or local laws; nor does it violate the ethical tenets of my profession. Perhaps some laws will address this issue in the future. Moreover, following the desires of a self-declared rule maker strikes me as a bad personal choice. Therefore, I choose not to follow Mr. Offer's declarations regarding this action. I intend no disrespect, Mr. Offer. Just exercising my free will, at this point. Cheers

"Federal, state, or local laws" and the ethical tenets of your profession have little or nothing to do with the administration of this forum. We are free to establish our own policies. Anonymous posting is a good thing to have in certain situations; but it has long been abused here, and it's time for that abuse to end. You don't have to register to post (at present) - all we ask is that people choose and use a consistent name. I realize that you are registered as *guest* - but I have to say that it's a user name that causes confusion and I'm sorely tempted to change it.
