Re: Identity Problem

Bingo.

One of the key issues with web anonymity is exactly that - it is not really anonymous when you do not supply credentials. I'd rather have a system which has working authentication when you supply them and is properly anonymous when you do not instead of the current wild west hodge-podge.

So that is indeed the case - funnily enough, the key to web anonymity is exactly that - web authentication, and modding the parent post down will not change that at all.
