Who are you, Anonymous?

Requiring letters registration has cut down on trolls and drive-by insults, but lately we're seeing more complaints about "anonymous" writers.

    salon = fox ?

    OK, here's a topical news item produced by Fox News [1] about the online "gang" known as "anonymous". Scarrrrryyyyy!!!

    Did you see those vans blow up!! Ban anonymous!

    Does Salon want to make the same leaps of logic as Fox News? I hope not.

    I picked this up on Slashdot [2], which Joan somewhat chidingly refers to in her post. Salon might learn a thing or two by reading Slashdot from time to time.
