However, I have been receiving comments from (most likely) multiple "anonymouses". And y'all aren't using anything, not even an initial, to distinguish yourselves.
And...while obviously this is not a great moral outrage, it is annoying, and makes it really difficult to keep track of discussions, and it frankly compels me not to respond to any of those comments because I don't have any kind of a "distinguishing reference".
So, I will repeat here a point from this blog's comment policy:
if at all possible, please sign your comments with some sort of distinguishing nickname. Or your initials. Or even initials that aren't actually yours. Or a single letter, like "A" or "J", or heck, even a number. Just something so that I don't end up dealing with five different "anonymouses" commenting on the same post and having to somehow guess who said what. That kind of thing gets incredibly confusing really quickly.
Posting as "anonymous" with no other indicators or initials or anything does not make you a terrible person or anything so please do not presume I am saying that. I am not. I am just saying I find it really confusing when people do that. So I am asking as a matter of courtesy that you distinguish yourself in some way. This does NOT require a blogger login, all it requires is that you put an initial or even a little ASCII doodle or something after your comment in the text of the comment. Thanks.
(Comments disallowed on this post because I don't feel like prompting a big meta-discussion about comment policies!)
