That's what you get with anonymous posts. Oh,
I don't say that all are like that and that
there may not be good reasons to post anonymously.
What I say is that it generate a lot of abuses.
And, because it's anonymous, readers don't have
any way to differentiate abuses from legit posts.
For this reason, _I_ claim (based on both
my personal and professional expertise of
internet) that anonymous posts are never
taken seriously in professional newsgroup/forum
or mailing-list. You may post anonymously
on this forum because many readers are very
young and because cels is not that important
a subject (yeah, sorry to break your illusion :
even if your cels are the center of your life,
the rest of the world doesn't realy care about
this hobby.. :). But never try to do that in a
newsgroup like comp.os.infosystem or any other
technical/professional newsgroup/forum/list.
That's the best way to look like a fool.
(Especialy if the post is not as anonymous as you
think it is. And other readers know about that...)
