Re: (Fwd) Re: Not Wanted--Technical Writers

My question is why someone would want
to post really great comments but want to
remain anonymous???

Please consider posting with your sig.
so we know who is answering/responding
to a question of debate.

My comments may not always be the best
on this list but I am willing to post with my
sig. so that others may respond on list to
my comments or email me personally.

BTW part of the netiquette of this list
*if I remember correctly* as per
Eric's numerous "rules" postings is to argue
the ideas (without a previous posters name attached).
Use snipettes of the post(s) preceding ours own.

Good policy. Keeps down flames and
keeps us on track.

I think the general disclaimer that you speak
for yourself and not your company/organization/
institution, yet keep your sig. should be
sufficient (IMHO).

o    What say some of you about "anonymous"
       posts?
