Why you should not waste your time reading anonymous posts

Here is a link to an article that mirrors the statements I am constantly making about these websites where people rant and rave under the guise of a psuedonym. The problems are several fold: how can I care what you say if I have no clue who you are and how can you care what you say if you don't have to say who you are? The newspapers seem to be encouraging this sort of behavior by hosting these so called community conversation blogs but we can't even tell what community the bloggers live in. To me it is just detritus. This guy cohesively points out why I am right: http://www.townhall.com/Columnists/DennisPrager/2007/10/23/internet_anonymity_is_as_destructive_as_internet_porn

What a wonderful, thoughtful observation. Small wonder you refer to this site as KMac's "Observatory!" It's because you really do "observe" things! I could not agree more about this anonymous posting thing.
Love and best wishes,
