- Less than 24 hours ago, I posted an article calling all of you
- to vote on anonymous postings. The UVic system allows me to read
- news but it's getting a bit wonky about posting. You are reading
- this about 24 hours after my writing it, but here goes:
-
- It has been brought to my attention that some people actually
- like anonymous postings. This was indeed a surprise.
-
- Others have pointed out that the anonymous postings are fine as
- long as there are no personal ads.
-
- Yes, some people are shy, and for these people the anonymous
- thing is fine. It gives them an opportunity to voice ideas and
- opinions as well as solve personal problems with our help.
-
- I know many of you by name only. I know some of you by the
- aspects of your personalities that you portray on the net. To
- most of you, I am just a bunch of words on a screen. I think
- I'm still rather anonymous because most of you have never met
- me in person, or had a conversation with me on the phone.
-
- My argument is that News Groups are quite anonymous to begin
- with. I personally see no need for any increased anonymity.
-
- You may still vote on the issue by sending me email here or
- at my other account. As promised, I will post the results on the
- 27'th of January, and I'll let you decide our plan of action
- with your votes.
