I don`t understand what BS means. I hope you are not being abusive.

Then a real name, or at least a recognisable pseudonym should be
obligatory - world wide. The universal ruling should be changed. Everywhere
else in life, a name is obligatory. Anonymity, I repeat again is offensive
to all. It was offensive to me, and if this is so, you of all people should
want to put this right, because I am a fairly interesting contributor in
here. This other guy isn`t, at present.

If I want to pass comment then I will do so. That is my right. At least it
may sow some seeds in your mind, as well as generally, how an internet list
should be moderated. I myself have no wish to start a list. And if, as seems
reasonable from other list members also, then you should think seriously
about anonymity in future. It`s not only me who has voiced criticism about
this.

Poppycock!
