I don't, actually. True, anonymous mail is a great vehicle for slander, BUT,
I've found that if nobody gets behind a statement, nobody is willing to take
much stock in it. At best, people should ask ``he who was slandered'' for
the truth before taking an anon posting for granted. My point: Anonymous
slander is pointless and unimpressive - useless at best.

Anybody who took that post, for instance, as the truth should be ignored.

The good thing about anon posting is that you can judge the posting by
the value of what's written there and nothing else. I chose to judge that
posting as really silly and acted accordingly.
