The hole just gets bigger and bigger. Joe says:

If you are known to the community, then you accept the consequences of how the community responds to what you have to say. That's not the case with anonymous posts - they're more like hit-and-run driving.

And later in the same post.

We're the ones who make the decisions. We have asked the JoeClones not to identify themselves when they edit because we want to take the responsibility for supervising them. They answer to us, not to the public scrutiny of the forum.

Suddenly, what the community thinks and how it responds, is not important at all? It is important that, the community know what a poster has to say and who they may be - but it is not important for the Community to know who is anonymously passing judgement and editing our contributions to our forum.

This is getting just too surreal - If you, Joe and Jeff, wish to take the responsibilty - the simple question is, why not just take it and do away with all your unknown volunteers? Or why not just limit their power to just alerting you and Jeff to any possible need for editing, as these occasions are so rare?
