Why be 'Guest'?
Anonymous:
so many times when people post with a 'handle' their posts are followed and remembered...but this often is a transitional time we are here.
When we move on, do we need people stating, but you once said----? Maybe/ maybe not.
And what about the established group of posters?
Unless newcomers and oldtimers are allowed to post anonymously then group dynamics take over, with some poeple having an overdeveloped voice, and others being stifled...
'Be our guest'...isn't that also a Disney song -Beauty and the Beast- what better metaphor for our experience?

People establish themselves by willing to come forward and joining in the discussion. Over developed/ underdeveloped - these are real issues in life to be worked out by each individual. Your self percieved anonymity is no less soft in its approach than if you offered a name. Your style is clear. The fact that you post anonymously as Guest offering nothing else speaks to me of arrogance. . Offering something that can be built upon - a ‘face’ - an identity- we are able to develop a real relationship, however short, and so decide for ourselves a level of trust and credibility, when advice and experience are offered. Otherwise it comes across imperialistic in its delivery.

Dear Guests:
There is no such thing as an overdeveloped voice at this board. And if you think there is, this probably isn't where you belong. The purpose of this board is to allow voices to be found and freely expressed when they have otherwise been stifled.
Nic as guest:
An anonymous voice pales in comparison with a voice plus an identity in my view..when you post with your handle or name you take ownership of what you say and give people the opportunity to consider your input as more than just ..say maybe..anonymous cyber drivel.
To consider or ponder,
Nic..as guest! :wink:

CC-Exactly my point.
