One of the unwritten rules, at least in my understanding: Tell who you are! Two ways to do this: Use an email address that shows your name, or, preferably, sign your post with your name, first name at least.

Very true! I tend to help people who are NOT anonymous.

Hmm. Four(*) follow-ups (plus this one), and only one (mine) in response to the OP. If you don't want anonymous posts, don't show the enormous power anonymous posters have to hijack threads.

The OP's main points are not controversial. But, it's hard not to see a response his post as taking sides in the outsourcing threads. My thoughts about outsourcing are complex and nuanced. I did not want people to believe wrong things about my beliefs. Thus, no signature on that post and this one.


(*) If you see only three, it's because you're reading the listserv rather than the newsgroup.
