You do have to admit one thing. If people posted under their own
names, there would be a lot less rancor and stupidity in this
newsgroup.

It is amazing how much "courage" a perceived anonymity gives some
people.....

We have people posting under there own (almost) names who post dozens of rancorous, stupid posts
here on a daily basis.

Your idol is a prime example.
