I don't/won't accept ANY anonymous posts to the 3 lists that I am
co-owner of/for!! Our listserv Lists are OPEN PUBLIC FORUMS! (for
the most part) and I find it inconceiveable to condone anonymity in
any form!!
If users are not willing to identify themselves with legitimate
UserID's, then I say "drop the maul on them"!! They don't deserve to
be heard or seen!! HIV, AA, DRUGS, SEX, INSANITY,--doesn't make any
difference. Say anything they want, but the membership is entitled
to know who is saying what!! . . . Phil---
