This is stupid, it doesn't let you send private replies and you will
never know who is saying what. As soon as you start having a discussion
involving 5 people, you will have a big mess. The anonymous servers hide
the true identity of posters but do provide a means to associate each
message with a person. And as we have said countless times, there is no
point in having this discussion, you just can't prevent users from using
anonymous servers if they want to.
