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,
David Morris
