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.) **Kitty **Kitty Antonik Wakfer MoreLife for the rational - http://morelife.org Reality based tools for more life in quantity and quality Self-Sovereign Individual Project - http://selfsip.org Rational freedom by self-sovereignty & social contracting <snip> > > Billy H.
