I used not to look at he source of a post before I read it so that I would judge it on its own merit. Now, because of the plethora (isn't that a great word? "Come see the Giant Plethora") of angry, small-minded posts, I now first read from whom the post originated. If it is from "Guest", I am forewarned that there is a good possibility that someone who does not want to be associated with what he or she is saying, has sent this message. "Guest" is a warning that it's possible that this message is something the writer is ashamed of writing; it's purpose is to upset. Sure, sometimes the Guests turn out to be Mudcatters who've temporarily lost their cookies but that small inconvenience is better than reading nauseous messages, unprepared. In any case, the attacks from "Guest" no longer are as annoying to me as they once were.
