Just my observations though about the anonymity of this list: 1. Those who aren't brave, but flamy never write their names. 2. Those who are confident and helpful often do so, and I can count only six, not necessarily by rank: Devin, Kyle, Tim, Karen, Didier, and Rich Morin. 3. Because of that, threads on this list are exciting and often generate more responses than say orca mailing list. 4. There are people here who impersonate others. A case in point is someone who calls themselves Didier, perhaps that is his or her given name--though I have my doubts about that as well, <smile>. 5. So because I am not on the list on item 2, I enjoy this list as it is. I don't like spam, and prefer anonymity.

Reading completely anonymous postings and trying to figure out whether and how they relate to previous postings is a real drag. That said, I'm open to various ways it could be resolved. > > Regarding posters' desire to be anonymous, I'll point out (again :-) that it would be fine for posters to use some sort of nickname, pseudonym, etc. It only has to be unusual enough to let the reader tell various posters apart. So, for example, "Fred" isn't very useful, but "Fred123" or even "abc123" would work just fine... > > - Rich Morin > > _______________________________________________ > Blinux-list mailing list > Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
