I prefer attribution, but I understand why someone might not want to expose themselves to the rampant paranoia, profligate speculation and general nastiness that began to swirl around the 'offending' post, long before a beginner might have twigged to list etiquette (or not) or a more adept sender might have discovered an address oversight. Many of our senders are known by insider nicknames. Some of us include to much in our signatures, others too little, some assume the E-address says it all.
Liz, I fail to understand why you're putting so much energy into defending the practice of anonymous posting, which even the most hopeless newbie realizes is a vile and scummy practice. There is absolutely no excuse for sending messages under false names to a public email list. In fact, it is technically illegal, although I can't cite the statute at the moment.
