Thread Name: Posting as merely 'GUEST'
Subject: RE: Posting as merely 'GUEST'
I don't give a fig if someone types a bit of information or a question as a guest. The point where it becomes confusing is in discussions, when continuity exists. The guests' posts become disjointed and may not make sense - especially when they reference a previous post of theirs.

If they don't mind being thrown all together in the big guest collective, I guess we could think of them as a hive or something, and respond to the voice from the hive. Unfortunately, the voice is sometimes trying to stir things up, so everyone in the hive is going to get blamed. If someone's going to give up all identification as an individual, they'd better be prepared to not be seen as one.

<irony>Maybe Max could assign Borg numbers to them or something: 1 of 4, 3 of 7...</irony>
