There are a few legitimate cases where a message should be anonymous.
For example, the newsgroup net.rumor is probably one for which an
anonymous article should be allowed.  If a newsgroup ever started
up for personal advice (Dear Abby or whatever - I understand such
groups exist on Notes at Illinois) it would be important.

Perhaps anonymous articles should be accepted only in certain newsgroups?
(With validation techniques, it should be possible to decide
reliably whether the claimed author for the article is legit.)
