So you want to de-anonymize them within the thread, which --in my book-- is taking away part of their anonymous robes.&lt;p&gt;In a certain way, I am already anonymous by the use of my "handle" CountZero. If I should want to be &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; anonymous I simply do not log in and become the Anonymous Monk. It is unlikely that I then would want to be &lt;em&gt;almost-but-not-entirely&lt;/em&gt; anonymous.&lt;p&gt;This whole Anonymous Monk thing is like free speech: any restrictions just kill it.&lt;!-- Node text goes above.

&lt;p&gt;CountZero&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity."&lt;/i&gt; - [http://www.canonical.org/~kragen/tao-of-programming.html|The Tao of Programming], 4.1 - Geoffrey James&lt;/p&gt;
