Buck, when it comes to anonymity, I'm a traditionalist. As far as I'm concerned, if you have used your real name here in the past, you are not anonymous, end of story. IMO, Rick opened up a whole can of stupid when he decided that Vaj could have his anonymity "restored", even though he has posted here in the past under his real name. Non-anonymous people who decide they want to be regarded as anonymous need to take it up with Rick, because that is ridiculous dumbassery that I will have no part of. With respect to shukra69, although he didn't use his real name on FFL, he did attach his real name to that moniker on another site; strictly speaking, that means he was never anonymous to begin with. But, I have a lot more sympathy for him than I do for someone who wants his anonymity "restored" after openly posting here with his real name. To be truly anonymous, you need to do what Nabby does: use a moniker that he has in absolutely no way publicly linked with his real name. IMO, unless you do that, you have no reasonable expectation to be regarded as anonymous.
