I say...
Yes, it does make a lot of sense and it is relevant when you FLAME someone
anonymously. If you're going to flame someone, be a "man" and say who you
are! If you want to be anonymous, then keep your flames to yourself.
Anyway, lurkers don't flame and flamers don't lurk.

Finally, for Admin: You'll hear no more from me about this. But I did
think David needed to be agreed with in public.
