Chaos and the unknown is where music comes from.

Many people feel uncomfortable with chaos and the unknown, and their creative output reflects that, be it music or cooking or inventing a new safety pin.

If people choose to ignore me because I post anon. I have no problem with that whatsoever. In fact, it would be preferable to whining around that anon posting disturbs your little Mudcat world. I really don't have a problem interpreting what is being said in threads with more than one anon. guest posting--it just requires closer reading is all. For the Sesame Street attention span group,I realize that might pose a problem, but its their problem, not mine.

This is the Internet. Many people post using false identities. Why, when this is such a common practice, do a very few of you continue to make such an issue of it?

If something about Internet discussion forums bothered me as much as anon. posting seems to bother some Mudcat members, I just wouldn't bother with going into the discussion forums.

We don't have within our powers to control the Internet environment, in Mudcat or any other discussion forum.

Wouldn't it be much more productive and pleasant to accept that, and engage with other posters based upon what is being said, identity/label/handle be damned?

A lot of good chaos gardening is getting done by guests here...I love it. Which is why I continue to post anon.

Why waste all this time and bandwidth over something you will never have control over?
