- Strange comments, coming from somebody whose e-mail address comes
- up "nobody" when you try to do a reply! Knowing that little
- oddity, the additional fact that "perl" is a programming
- language, and "Dan" is a loose extract from the first name of one
- of perl's authors, one has to wonder.
-
- But, that aside, I don't see where anything has changed because of
- the anon service. There was just as much crap and flames here during the
- times that there haven't been any anonymous services. They do
- serve a purpose, but like anything, there are always people who
- will abuse the system, anonymous or not.
-
- If it really bothers you, use a threading newsreader so you can
- pick the threads you want to read, or use a kill file by subject
- or name.
