Lately I have seen a few postings from a guest account or two,
and on the subject of forgeries, why is this permitted?

I could log on as guest, (we have no such account here),
do a post or followup, and flame the hell out of someone, or
be down right clever in some form of personal attack.

And get away with it..

I think that as such, a guest can read news, but not followup,
or at least have their comments sent to some form of moderator
prior to net release.  

Opinions?
