There is no intrigue here. Everything is out in the open: Doug is an
irresponsible ass who wishes nothing more than the entire attention of this
list. He does this through insult, knowing dishonesty (remember all his
other personas (which he completely denied, but was so obvious that any ass
could see through it)?), and any other form of manipulation that will get
him all the attention he begs for. THAT is what is destroying this list,
not anonymity. Anonymous assholes can be as as transparent as the named,
Doug proved that well.

Again, anonymity is not the issue: It's about bad behavior and list
hijacking. That is why I have personally chosen to boycott all Doug's posts
for the last few months, and I regret I broke my own boycott. It has proved
its worth as this breech has shown. But I will say this: There has been
much more traffic over this bullshit than in pure MD discussion, and that is
a little sad.
Oh Well,
