I wish Max would write code that *required* some entry after the word 'guest', just to avoid the problem djh notes. I have NO problem with gnu's solution...be Rumplestiltskin if you wish...just be someone consistently, (preferably a member, so you you can get private messages and see the other services....but if you are Joe Schmoe in thread 'X', be Joe Schmoe in thread 'Y')...there can be continuity and understanding developed between people whether or not they know each other's real names, but disembodied comments make most regulars uneasy.

awww, to hell with it, YOU know the reasoning...and I am tired of begging folks to BE reasonable.
