"A different guest" - well that's enough of an identity form the time being to allow mne to reply without breaking my firm decision not to pay any regard to unadorned GUESTS. Except maybe count them.

I've explained why, and I don't want to repeat the reasons. Essentially it's because an unadorned GUEST posting is graffiti, and if you find yourself starting a conversation with a wall, that's not a good sign. And most of the time unadorned GUESTs don't seem to be trying to make "fairly valid points". There are exceptions, but just check it out.

Presumably there are reasons why people like to post as unadorned GUEST without even what seems to me the elementary courtesy of a minimal pseudonym at the end, such as "a different guest". But I don't think these reasons can include self-effacement or modesty, or wishing to help other people. Maybe I'm wrong, in which case someone please show me.
