Um, that wasn’t me on line 10.

Yes, I know that was the point. But just wanted to clarify.

How do you prove you are who you say you are anyway?

"We’ve gotten great information from people who understandably couldn’t use their name and I prefer that we learn the information and don’t care ‘who’ they are. They are beneficial bloggers under any name." Completely agree.

Miss “blog-handle” steps up to the podium.

hannie = Johanna Baxter = both “Johanna” and “hannie” are names given me since birth and many SK people know me either way.

I’d get into history of this, but I actually explain it on my own domain. Are we good on that? Sure we are.

James M Olsen… you are not disappointing as a blogger. Agree or not, you seem to lay issues straight out.

And, I don’t see how Christopher Dunagan’s environmental blog could be labeled ‘disappointing’ at any time.
Most of the comments are informative and the dialog is understood by non science folks.
I can’t be the only one to learn more online here, than I ever knew about environmental concerns, government and educational idiocies – all thanks to his and other blogs and bloggers here.

We have an active community willing to inform.

Some people who use blog handles claim they cannot use their name without retribution from the community/work place. Coming from Bainbridge, this is a real concern for some.

There are others who are too cowardly or scurrilous to use their name and they are afraid to put a potential idiotic premise to the test — the public smell test.

Of course the papers — the their reporters — also play their unfair share of games with names/sources/agenda.

Papers are disappointing — blogs are disappointing.

Let’s not go to another fascist nanny state requirement on blog identities.
