Hi Mr/Ms Moderator(s),
I haven't been on this forum for very long, but I have spent a fair amount of time on other forums, and this is the only one I know of that allows 'guests' to post.
I submit to you that is an extremely poor policy.
Part of what makes forums (fora?) interesting is the interplay between personalities - and that can only work when a personality is attached to a handle.
Reading through a long thread with numerous posts by "Guest" renders it lifeless. You don't know which Guest is which. And when Guest says something that demands a response (the situation that caused me to realize the folly of this policy), how do you respond to it?
Take it to it's logical extreme - suppose only guests were allowed to post. How exciting would that be?
It takes about 30 seconds to register for this forum. Is it really such a big deal to require posters to do so?
Anyway, I hope you give it some thought.
