Ah!  I finally figured out why the extreme closeup on Piru's screenshot...

When they pulled back, there was too much reflection off of the tin foil hat...  ;-)

This is not a "public meeting place," this is a privately owned site that we use...
If he doesn't want his name all over it, he has that right..

It would be nice to think we can be respectful enough to accept that, rather than react as tho he's covering up something or removing our ability exchange ideas openly..

This is about the most open site I've seen...
The ..er.. "discussions" here are allowed HUGE amounts of leeway...
Much more than on many other sites....

Interesting.....

I'm reminded of a line from Life of Brian..

"Just no pleasing some people"....  ;-)

Would you use forums operated by a known spam king?  I wouldn't, but I also don't use real data like my main email address for any forums, generally.
As you said tho, it doesn't matter what his name is, as you don't use real data...
The fact is, that argument is largely fluff as most people have no idea who owns most of the sites they frequent on the Internet..

And, if he was a "known SPAM king," isn't it more likely he'd use some fake name and it wouldn't help anyway..  ;-)

Careful people treat their data carefully, regardless of who might own the site.

It really doesn't matter at all...

How many times have you heard anyone say, "Oh, I don't go to that site because it's owned by ."???

Smart/safe people treat all these sites as risky, regardless of who owns them...
