Guest, All (or whatever)

I think some of the hostility was generated not by you, but by some other unpleasant people using GUEST only appellations to do unpleasant things. I, for one, am sorry if this has caused you pain.

People (myself included) find it easier to talk to others if they know it is the same person. I know you have signed all your posts and I respect that. However, the use of your name on the From: line enables us to go to posts by a particular person by clicking and makes it easier to make sense of what they are saying in a non-continuous communication like a thread ... makes it less like spaghetti.

I have been avoiding posts by GUEST alone because of the unpleasantness ... I'd rather not read it and can avoid it this way.

Once you started posting with a name (or whatever) in From: which identified you, I started to read, then read backwards, then responded.

No punishment. No oppression. Just welcome. Would you like to join, give yourself a name? If not, you're free to leave of course.

We have just spent 2 days doing very little simply because of unpleasantness directed from person/people calling themselves GUEST alone. I for one would like to get back to the really fascinating thread discussions.
