Greg, I think Jupiter is probably referring to all the Anonymous posts of late. At most sites the majority of anon posters are trolls. Here, my guess is they are mostly regular posters that want to express an opinion without revealing themselves. There are lots of pluses to being able to post anon, but some negatives too. I mentioned the guy at one site that constructed 5 alternate idenities and posted under them all. His purpose seemed to be to multiply his influence there...make it seem there were large numbers of posters that agreed with him or shared his pov. Interestingly, it was a religous board and the guy is the leader of a small cult. It also makes it more difficult to maintain the flow of dialogue when there's lots of anons. Anons don't have to worry about being consistent from one post to the next either.
Anonymous:
But doesn't that only apply to porn sites.

Not none,but very little.

Greg,
Marshall was right. I am referring to the Anonymous post of late. They seem to have started up more after John U came on board. Makes one wonder........
