I signed in just as "Guest" to make a point:

I am not any of the "Guests" who posted above, but if I don't put any identification on my post, folks will probably connect my posted thoughts with those of any and all other "Guests" in this thread.

I like the idea of guests being able to post--ir members posting as "guests" if they have a legitimate reason for not wanting a (non-inflammatory) post associated with their name. But perhaps they should be required to post SOME SORT OF NAME --be it Hieronymous Bosch or Wanda Jam, or whatever--so that multiple guests posting to the thread will not automatically be presumed to be one and the same.

Is it feasible to require "Guests" to put some kind of name in the blank, even if not their real name or regular Mudcat name (if they are members)?
