Eric Thomas of SEARN writes, on this topic, that it is impossible to control the anonymous postings from the anonymous alias servers. Again, there is a confusion between policy and implementation. If (and this is if) an agreement were reached on policy that said anonymous postings were not allowed in some form, then the question of preventing would come up. For preventing or constraining anonymou alias servers: I don't see this becoming a difficulty at some point in the future, for I do not believe that the present relatively anarchic network-connection mode will exist for more than a few more years. The network will become institutionalized and regulated, and connections to the net will be subject to rules and sanctions which if not followed will result in disconnection or other legal or quasi-legal action. This is all hypothetical, though; tthe point remains: what do we want? --Peter Graham, Rutgers University Libraries
