dampscribbler | A note on anonymous responses

Livejournal has a "feature" I don't particularly care for -- it goes something like this. If you have a LJ account, you can post a response to my messages and be identified as the LJ user you are (or, if you have more than one account, you can choose which account to post the reply from.) Unfortunately, I now have at least a few readers who do not have LJ accounts. For you folks, the only option (aside from signing up for your own account, I guess,) is to post anonymously. I just want to let you all know that anonymous posting is fine with me, I understand that you don't have much choice. I'd love it if you would sign your name at the bottom of your response (as Rayne did last week) and feel free to post a link to your own site and/or blog so I can visit. As of today I'm not logging IP addresses. If abuse should start to happen, I'll turn IP logging back on. I'm not too worried about it.

Also, FYI, I'm thinking about switching to salon blogs, this LJ anonymous thing being just one of the reasons why. I'd love to hear from salon bloggers (and Althaea, especially you, since you have both LJ and salon) what you like or don't like about it.

Thanks for your attention. Normal blogging will resume soon.
