"I don't understand what it is some Mudcat regulars are asking Max to change regarding the guest user option? "

my wish is that the 'from' box would require SOME entry....I suppose that a guest could get in with a simple "A" or "-"...but that would help those who simply forget. We often see posts where a person with no cookie posts again to tell us who he was. I have seen several chat rooms where an attempt to post with no name got a message..."please enter your handle/name"...

Now, having said that, I know that Max has indicated that he does NOT intend to do that at this time...so.....*shrug*
