To the anonymous participants of great discussions

In recent months, the discussions that have sprung up around some of the posts on this blog have been quite interesting:
On average, these posts have 18 comments each. I think it's just great having such high quality discussion. I have a request to all of you who are participating in these discussions: While it is perfectly reasonable that some of you choose to remain Anonymous, it's hard to keep track of the conversation when reading a post with multiple different people posting comments under the name `Anonymous'. So could you please create a Google id for yourself under some fictional name, so that each comment by you is identifiably yours?

  1. I'll add a name to myself. You blog allows that option. Let me think of something smart and witty :)

    I take my cues from the commentators in a few American financial blogs. Many there tend to post under anonymity.

  2. I am not exactly sure, what does anonymity achieve.

    If its for privacy, then apparently not a great idea. There are browser signature detectors.
