And Dave's name is "Wielenga." I pronounce it "sir."

I'm sorry, Selfish Causes. I posted it--that is, I, Will Swaim. Who sent it to me, I can't say.

But let me weigh in on the Anonymity thing: First, there's an asymmetrical power relationship between political officials and the people they govern; so like you, Selfish Causes, I can understand why some citizens would want to remain anonymous.

But I get what Dave is saying: there's far more power available to those citizens when they go public. Imagine Martin Luther King Jr, but anonymous.

Hey Wielinga.
Is this unsigned email worse than or equal to blogging under a phony name? Does it matter that the writer is most likely a tenant of the Ocean Center Building and is worried about reprisal? Is the writer a wussie, Dave?
