in reply to Re^12: to distinguish between [Anonymous Monk]s in a thread, brand 'em
in thread to distinguish between [Anonymous Monk]s in a thread, brand 'em

You just confirmed my argument...

Except that I didn't.

This is my suggestion, it can't possibly be your argument :)

My suggestion does not compromise anonymity one iota

A "username" is a name by definition, there can only be one here, it is a defacto perlmonks identity, whether or not its linked to any other identities (online or real world)

Anonymous Monk is the equivalent of having no name

Temporary in-thread-branding doesn't give you a name, doesn't link you to any identity, it merely hints at your location within a room --- anonymity intact
