Still doesn't make sense. Folks can post anonymously without assistance or announcing it. My real name, for instance, is Keyser Soze. I don't tell you, you don't know.

In fact I have six other identities on TECHWR-L. You, John, have personally replied to all of my proxies ...

1. Muriel (the Punctuationater)
2. Joe PERTman (diagramophone)
3. Benny Jett (the White-out King)
4. Agnes Mouthwash ("I'm offended to the depths of epitome")
5. Spiro Spanikopita (i18n l33t)
6. TechCommDoobie (<cough> to get off)

Yes, I read this line before I posted, and know that *you* understood that A.P. is Lisa being helpful :-)

While I do think Lisa's sweet to do it and sweet in general, I still don't see the point. Heck, anonymity's the default state.

Seems to me that neediness, on the other hand, is learned. And enabled.

And disabled:

Thank you for using procmail. We now return to our regularly scheduled U.S. holiday weekend.

Peace-out, whirlers, and take a moment to remember the fallen.

Best,
