Sorry, but there are valid reasons for posting anonymously. As one person that almost got fired from a company for expressing what was clearly marked as his own opinion to this list, I can attest to this. Some employers are concerned that you post during working hours, some are concerned that you use a work address, some are concerned that anything you say, no matter what email you use, will be considered as representations of the company's direction, even if it is clearly marked as not. I like helping and sharing my opinions, but I'm not willing to loose my job over it. UK

Perhaps it's time to bar posting privileges from those who insist on remaining entirely anonymous?
I doubt that anyone who has anything substantive to offer would need to use a hushmail/yahoo/etc. return address.
The initial posts from Bandy, Vaul, et al were mildly amusing at first, but the novelty wore out very quickly.

Do people really almost get fired for what they write here? I'd think there would be more constructive things to do by management than read nanog for questionable posts. If I were managing someone and they posted their feeling on a subject and clearly said it was their own who am I to have a problem with that. It might be in my best interest and listen to them then silence them. On Thu, 8 Aug 2002, Ukyo Kuonji wrote:

One might also note that looking at the headers of most webmail services enables you to figure out where they work anyway... Charles -- Charles Sprickman spork@inch.com On Thu, 8 Aug 2002, Scott Granados wrote:
