davidcyclebackIf a poster makes him or herself known to you, leon, so as to be allowed to post, that's fine. Though I would want that to be the infrequent, special case.
A lot of this is being polite having a community where people know each other. It used to be the case that someone in the chat room would refuse to give up his name when asked (I don't know why the need for stealth. Spend five minutes there and you will know that state secrets aren't being exchanged). In the chat room, refusing to state one's name when asked is akin to going to someone's house for dinner and refusing to say your name. It's just plain rude.
A rule of thumb for potential posters should be that, if you have a huge problem revealing your identity on this public board, then don't post. It's only a little board about baseball cards. You won't die or have your insurance rates doubled if you don't post on this board.

Anonymity- should it be allowed ?
