I looked for that post where a guest was saying was saying that a username had the same anonymity as an anon guest post (I can't find it now, damn!). But I'd like to say this:
Gimme strength! We've had this debate so many times. Seems this anonymity thing is even harder to explain than the offside rule.
Yes usernames are anonymous - well in THEORY at least- but anonymity is a spectrum, it ain't all-or-nothing. You seriously saying that posting with the same name for literally years and years is
exactly the same as popping in randomly to posts as 'guesty'' whilst proxied up to the eyeballs? You having a laugh! A username acts as a reference point to check a poster's posts (something that is often done with an insane degree of relish round here LMAO
). (Btw I haven't posted as an anon guest for 7 years - I might have mentioned that before, lol.)
To fletch, dean, vicky, goodwife and that nice guesty and all the other good people, have a great weekend. Off now! xxx
