Not quite my idea for shedding the cloak of anonymity, but it's a

I'd love to see usenet require posters to post with their full, real
name and real ISP.
Could get costly. As a web hosting provider I would be looking for a
software package that would block all ip's from that state to any
access to my systems, just like Indonesia and China. It is a political
ploy anyway, someone looking for votes.

Well, I think getting rid of usenet anonymity is a great idea.



Heh. You realize, don't you Harry, that a picture you posted a while
back of your Vista desktop clearly showed a shortcut to a program called,
"Hide My ISP" ?

Not being "snarky", but everytime you complain about anonymity I think of
that image and program.

So?

What's that got to do with my desire to end anonymous usenet posting?
Ending anonymous posting would make this a far more pleasant place, though
I'd bet real money at about a dozen of the snarkiest posters here would
find another hobby.


This is not a smart ass question. Do you have a listed telephone number? If
not, why not?
