I do not like the idea of allowing anonymous submissions of Usenet articles. Usenet has a cost associated with it, the companies and bosses pay the bills, and probably would want some sort of account- ability for what they are paying for (and are responsible for to their bosses and owners). A single anonymous article that was in bad taste, or leaked sensitive data could cause the net to be shut off. With strict accountability, only the offending individual would suffer, not everybody.

I agree with Mel Haas. One must be resposible for one's articles and if you can send anonymous submissions, people can just go nuts and write things and do need to be responsible for what they write. This is, in my opinion, highly undesirable and should be avoided. Felix Luk

Whether they aacept it or not. Objections to missing signatures based on questions of who is responsible for content are invalid. brian (my friends call me 'ber') redman
