Dear Anonymous, would you please pick a nickname?
I think I understand now why so many people post as "Anonymous" when they can just as easily put in a clever nickname.
In case you didn't know, here's how you do that: After you type in your comment, look below where it says "Choose an identity," select "Other." Type in whatever name you want. Click "Publish your comment." That's it.
Now you sound suave and sophisticated instead of dorky like that "Anonymous" boob. No, the other one. Not him either. The one that misspells "the." No, the first one.... (You see the problem with having 10,000 people called "Anonymous," right?)

Stay anonymous!
Maybe if you made the site accept a super cool nickname like Jeffrond, and not make us login, it would be a different story.
Why in the worl do you want us to log in? What possible benefit could come of that? Just let me click the anonymous button, the publish, and I am gone. Simple!
If you ran the world, soon I would have to log on to use my toilet!
PS - love the blog anyways.
anonymous
?
You read much? You don't have to log in. That would imply the use of a password, which is not required.
If you look two inches below where you are typing right now, you will see three choices. Try the middle one, marked OTHER. Then type in a halfway creative nick so everyone can tell who everyone else is. Over time this will become your identity, and people will know you by your terribly clever nickname.
Or Tu-Uyen, you could just turn off anonymous posting, forcing anyone with a legitimate opinion to choose an identity. Double-edged sword. But it's your sword.
Hey wait a minute, I'm the anon with the attitude!
Who does this person think they are?
(The anon above, I mean)
It's just a matter of time before Tu-Uyen is forced to require a login feature. As soon as some "community leaders" (we all know which ones) are called out by name, they'll rant and rave so much that Tu-Uyen will be forced to require a login.
Eventually they'll cry so loudly that, the blog will go away all together.
Haven't you guys ever heard of making stuff up? Even if you did log in to Blogger.com, you can just make up your name so you'd still have a protected identity. Well, sort of. You can still be tracked by your IP address unless you take care to mask that.
Anyway, no city official is gonna come after this blog. The only way they can is if you make a libelous statement. "Dumbass" isn't libelous but "bribe-taker" is. If I see that, I'll have to have it deleted.
Where does "Dumbass Bribe-taker" fit in?
:-)
Anonymous is kind of a funny name, isn't it ? I think I'll try this one on for size.
By the way, I like your blog. I grew up in Grand Forks and it's nice to read about it and what's going on there.
Yeah- pick a cool name like "Good Ol' Boy" so everybody knows you're some grumpy old cracker with an opinion. Or whatever. That one chick with the "Teller of Truths" blog- boy she's got issues- but she puts her name out there, give her props for that.
