keep a consistent persona on the FFML.  I do wonder whether posters who use
anonymous remailers should be allowed on the FFML.  At the very least, they
should be required to register with WW or Tybalt.  

why? are they this ml's bouncers? hmm, i guess they are in a way, but lets
wait untill 'anonymous' does something -wrong- before forming any

negativity...

  There are two problems with posts sent through anonymous remailers.  If
someone does do something wrong, WW or Tybalt can't ban the specific
individual, but can only ban all posts from that remailer.  The other
problem is that anonymous remailers will increase spam or decrease C&C
since readers can't reply privately to that individual.  I often direct C&C
or questions privately to people either because the remarks are not for
public distribution or because the comments are sufficiently spammish that
I don't want to waste space in people's mailboxes.

  BTW, how would someone using an anonymous remailer be able to register
with WW or Tybalt so that they don't get blamed for someone else's actions?
