Sure, it's always better to have all the information you can about the
speaker, especially when you're dealing with a narrow bandwidth medium
like a terminal screen.

But there are times when what is said is more important than who is
saying it and there are times when something cannot be said openly.
I think anonymous postings are overused but I also think you can't
have the degree of freedom I want to see on the net if you don't
allow them.
