Thread Name: BS: GUEST?
Subject: RE: BS: GUEST?
Yep.. as Joe & Martin Ryan...etc. said.

I KNOW Max finally agreed to 'allow' anonymous GUEST posting after several years of trying to prohibit/control it. It really couldn't BE controlled easily. That doesn't make making confusing posts polite or a good idea. One is still anonymous, even if they are 'Rumplestiltskin'.

Not being a coder/programmer, I have no idea how 'trivial' it would be to require a name... and even if it was done, someone could easily TYPE GUEST, and mock the system.

Musket has plenty to say, but almost always remembers... and I always know what 'personality' I'm talking to.

No easy answer... but it will always be an issue, even if no one discusses it.
