56. Re: Quick observation Aug 20, 2002, 16:10 anon@216.23
 
As an avid reader of Blue's News, I have never seen any other posters with the anon name of anon@216.23 (which is my IP truncation, and why I chose it as my nickname). I would guess that the chance of this happening are fairly slim. At any rate, shouldn't a poster be able to decide if they want other people following them around? This is one of the points of remaining anonymous.

The clickable name certainly is a difference, but ideally, each message ought to be interpretted based on how valid the points it makes are, not what the author has said before (this is IMHO, obviously).

I certainly think that being registered provides some enhancements to the entire experience of posting on a messageboard, but I am not entirely convinced that these warrant dissolving the concept of anonymous postings in general. Ideally, the more choices, the better -- customization is a function of good design.
