Thanks for the link, Christina; it's a very interesting article. It's recent, though, so I wouldn't simply say that he's "already" addressed the matter!

I know this subject strikes many people as common sense, but I was just wondering whether the internet changes things...the great promise of the internet to me is that anonymity encourages honesty -- ironically, far from having something to hide, I believe anonymity encourages truthfulness; it's why we have secret ballots, after all: to express the true will, unencumbered by "social considerations."

But as with much else in life, context matters, and in business affairs anonymity is just DOA.
