Jay, you are entitled to *your* opinions about how the world *should* be run.
But the Mozilla community has agreed on how newsgroups and mailing lists best
serve the community, and has laid some (IMHO reasonable) ground rules, and
you're thumbing your nose at them.
You can see them complete ("in context"?) here:
http://mozilla.org/community.html, but I will quote a few relevant items here:
<quote>
* No anonymous messages.
If you have something that you are offering for others to read, you should be
willing to attach your name to it, and to give people the ability to reply to
you privately about it, in case they feel that a public reply would be
inappropriate.
So-called ``address munging'' is frowned upon. Your return address should be
replyable. If you want to avoid spam, use mail filters, or don't post. Other
alternatives are not welcome here.
[...]
* Edit your followups.
Do not quote the entire content of the message to which you are replying.
Include only as much as is necessary for context. Remember that if someone
wants to read the original message, they can; it is easily accessible. A good
rule of thumb is, don't include more quoted text than new text.

And those recommendations are generally accepted across the internet, not just
at mozilla.org.
