A word on anonymous posts... (Mon Jul 26 03:18:39 1999

I understand there is a reason for many people to be anonymous. I assume some people are dealers/collectors who would rather speak with their collector side than their dealer side or would not like to skew opinions by using their dealer side. Some people are too shy to post. Others fear retaliation. While I realize there is not always a need for a nickname and email address, there are many reasons why some should think about using them. First off, those who don't want to post to the group will often email a person directly, if you don't have an email address, you lose out on this information. Second, having a nickname and email address doesn't let everyone know who you are (getting extra email addresses is all too easy, and nicknames are just made up). However, it lets others know you are the same person if you post multiple times. It also tends to make your post stronger because it shows the author is not just an 'anonymous flamer.' So, if you can, please use a consistent nickname and email address. Keys |
