What's in a Name?
Steven Heller on anonymous commenters:
A rose is a rose, and a real name at the end of a blog post is an indication that the person who authored the statement is taking responsibility, indeed ownership of the words — it is a simple act of honesty. For too long bloggers have been given license that is not tolerated in letters-to-the-editor columns of newspapers and magazines (except in extraordinary circumstances). If one is willing to expound, exclaim, or critique it should be done under a real name and with links to a valid email or website address. If transparency on the web is the new black, then there should be no secrets.
Exactly.

Thanks for the this post and this link. I fully agree. If you can't put your name on it then maybe it shouldn't be said.

I agree whole heartedly!
