B&G - this question is NOT pointed directly at you, it's a question/thought I've wanted to post for quite some time. And since I just saw your post, this seems seemed to be the time.

The question/thought: What difference does it make whether a name or a number posts? Isn't it the *content* of the post that is the only true issue in sharing information or debating?

Of course, most all the names/numbers have their own traits, habits and "personalities"...but all those things don't actually make a hooters-toot of a difference to the validity of the content of a post. The truth from a troll is still the truth; a lie from an angel is still a lie.

I don't see how the words of a totally anonymous "name" have more or less validity or credibility than someone posting under a totally anonymous "number"...or how they differ in the way they affect CZ as a whole.

Sure, sure, I realize there's an entire (very Matrix-ish) pseudo-social kind of 'society' on internet forums...but unless a poster is one of the extremely few that have associated their real life with their anonymous/name or number, there's nothing REAL about it. But actually, that's a different topic.

All done me - 'just wanted to throw that out for thinks n' thoughts.

Uny
