Good Question
Annon does allow you to protect yourself. No doubt not knowing who the who is behind the curtain will keep people wondering who the Wizard of Oz is, and could create speculation. With well known people "disappearing" from cyberspace, some resurfacing on other boards (AS on LVA) some still lurking below the surface, and some no doubt reappearing as "new" with fake ID's on other boards, I think this could have a negative effect on the integrity of this board. Annon could prevent sibling rivalry. "Why is so-in-so moderating when I am a far superior moderator and blackjack player?" On that note, I have never offered to moderate this board, or help design anything here, and am not involved in any other form than as a poster.
Once again, regardless of who is behind that curtain protecting their identity, WE make this board what it is. There is a reason why half the country doesn't vote. They don't really give a sheet who is running things, and that will always be a majority.
ALWAYS,
