Like it?  :em:
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there;  lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid.  She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again---and that is well;  but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.

Hi Eudora,  I have noticed on many threads some frustration, by others, trying to keep track of which ?Anon? is which during a discussion.  I was thinking that maybe if an extra field were added to show an ID # .  Maybe this could be as simple as a table number where IP numbers are stored.  When someone logs in or comes in the system looks for an IP match and assigns their ID # if the person is new they are added to the IP table and assigned a number.
This may help to cut down on Trolling, flame wars, keeping discussions honest etc. but still maintain anonymity.


I am not familiar with html, so this may be a huge design change.  Just a thought.  It would be a helpful addition.

Oh, there's been lots and lots of discussion along these lines, Who. Every time I'm almost convinced that I should limit anon posting, something comes along to remind me what it really is worth.

Just search on anon posting or troll in these forums and see what I'm talking about.

Here's a pretty good current discusion on that:
