Registering

Folks,

I've been plying these here Baja boards for quite a while now, and it's pretty common to hear people railing against "anonymous" posters.

So, I want to ask you, fellow time-wasters , a question. If you look at the registrations on these here boards, you "handles" like bajathis, and bajathat, and joebaja, and jeantraveller ... you get the idea. What do these registrations really tell us about the posters? I submit pretty close to ... nada. So, why does the community seem to put such a high value on registration, and such a low one on the opposite? To me, quite frankly, it doesn't make much difference - both are "hiding" if you will, behind a computer monitor. Now, if your registration is your real name, that's a different story.

for one thing it means that you took the time and had the respect to become a member before you start hacking up everyones posts.

and for another thing I know who Hose A and Jrbaja are and they have got a lot more class than anon. dose
