"That isn't exactly correct, though I thoroughly agree with your conclusion. The remarks are attributable to Guest 04 Mar 03 - 11:17 AM. Every post is attributable to it's author by simply identifying the post, rather than it's author by a name or label."
That does not attribute a post to its author, merely to where it was seen. There is no consistent way to decide whether one is seeing a continuing conversation or a series of separate inputs from separate individuals.

"No, 'Guest' is suggesting that those who maintain the forum have a duty to do the job fairly and without prejudice." But at the same time insisting that the 'clones' cannot, for whatever reason, post anonymously.
I take your point that there can be valid reasons not to identify ones own postings, but cannot understand why you expect those who have some responsibilities here must forgo the rights you espouse.
