I strongly agree, except that I'd say this applies to posting any place on the

Internet and not just CryoNet. If you haven't yet read the 2 essays on anonymity

(first by me, second by Paul and me) at the Self-Sovereign Individual Project 
website

(http://SelfSIP.org), I invite you to do so. 
http://selfsip.org/focus/anonymity.html

and http://selfsip.org/focus/personalcommodity.html  On our MoreLife Yahoo 
group, we

have recently put into effect the requirement that posters (as opposed to simply

lurking members) fully identify themselves to us (including picture ID which we 
purge

from our computer after satisfying ourselves that it is authentic) and use their
full
names in their messages (in the header and/or following the text). This new

requirement has elicited considerable discussion from a few who do not follow 
our

explanations that information about a person is in the same category of 
necessary

assessment criteria as information about any product or service, which is being 
made
more and more widely available to everyone on the Internet in response to their
desires. But read the essays, the discussion at MoreLife Yahoo

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/morelife/ and join in with the reasonable 
perspective

that you, Billy, have generally shown in the past. (Since we actually *know* 
you, you
are already fully identified to us and you need simply use your full name in
posting.)
