It's only 'accepted practice' if we accept it.

Larry, if you are going to continue to post about Usenet anonymity, take
it
to another newsgroup. This thread has no business in a piloting
newsgroup
and you, of all people, know better, Mr FAQ-poster.

Well, where, exactly, would you post a topic about Usenet anonymity on the
piloting newsgroups if NOT here?

As rare as it is, I agree 100% with Larry. Most of the spam, trolling and
general B.S. on this group originates from anonymous posters. If
anonymity
was not allowed, the signal to noise ratio would vastly improve, as
posters
would actually have to stand up and be counted as people.

In this day of stalkers, identity thieves, etc., anyone who posts all their
personal info has got to be nuts.

Besides, what damn difference does it make if someone posts under their
birth name or as "Joe Blow"? Does it give their arguments one more gram of
credibility or one less?

Damn it, learn to judge the argument by it's logic and factual basis, not
the wrapper it comes in.
