<DIV></DIV>>When a person signs their name to a letter, posting, or article authored by
<DIV></DIV>>him/her, it reflects maturity and responsibility on their part, just as
<DIV></DIV>>failing to sign with the author's real name reflects immaturity and a strong
<DIV></DIV>>lack of accountability.

<DIV></DIV>>All:
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>There is a sort of unwritten rule (there really are no written rules for
<DIV></DIV>>V2020 postings that I know of beyond the details of how First Step manages
<DIV></DIV>>the list) that list serve members sign their name to postings. This seems
<DIV></DIV>>like a good idea to discourage people from mischief or deception, etc., yet
<DIV></DIV>>in some cases people have legitimate reasons to remain anonymous.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>I thought the input by Fiat Lux was useful and informative. I do not think
<DIV></DIV>>the fact they did not identify themselves with their real name negates the
<DIV></DIV>>value of what they posted.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>We have seen some rather nasty and strange anonymous postings on this list
<DIV></DIV>>from souls most definitely up to mischief, but unless I missed something,
<DIV></DIV>>Fiat Lux's postings were rather well behaved.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Why have a cow over these anonymous postings?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Hiding in the corner as I sign my name...
