I am not promoting a policy, I am just saying. I do not trust people that
simply don´t care enough to share names.

No, but I would trust a person without a real name much less...

I respect your point of view and your will to believe in participation.

again, I am not looking to make a dent in the policy of participation, but
then again *I* wouldn´t trust a person who wishes to remain anonymous... it
is his call to remain so, and it is my call to trust or not to trust.

It´s just my opinion.
