Enough already- if you choose to post not using your name, you have to
expect a certain degree of distrust.  That is the power and drawbacks of
the Internet. As for who you are, that is everything as far as how much
value to put on your opinions or facts stated. If you choose not to sign
your name on a professional (except when it takes these bizarre paths
into idiocy) you open yourself up for those who are not the most tactful
or professional in voicing their opinions.
My 2¢ worth.
Now ENOUGH ALREADY!
