I do not like the idea of allowing anonymous submissions of Usenet
articles.  Usenet has a cost associated with it, the companies and
bosses pay the bills, and probably would want some sort of account-
ability for what they are paying for (and are responsible for to their
bosses and owners).  A single anonymous article that was in bad taste,
or leaked sensitive data could cause the net to be shut off.  With
strict accountability, only the offending individual would suffer,
not everybody.          Mel Haas   ,   houxm!mel
