Hello, John,

I follow your ESNUG forum for a long time and I appreciate many of the Q&A
raised there.  However, I have to admit that there are two many anonymous
inputs published in ESNUG.  In my opinion and in the opinion of others I
discussed with them about it, this issue contributes to a depreciation of
the credibility of the stuff published by you.

Could you find a way in which anonymous stuff will not be sent to people
which are not interested in such kind of stuff ?
