I just want to say, I agree with you about people who send things
anonomously over the net.  However, I want to clear up a
misconception over 'guest'.  On our computer there is a "guest"
account for people who only have a short use of the computer and
don't really need their own account.  However, when a new user is
admitted onto the system, they are assigned to the 'guest' account
until the paperwork is complete and their own account is ready.
During the time that user is on 'guest', any postings to the net
will be from ..!ssc-vax!guest.  I do agree that these people shold 
put their names into their articles, but as new users, they may not
be familiar enough with the system to do so (I know I wasn't, and
I've been a "hacker" for many years!)
