The fact that you wrote "list" makes me wonder if you're mixing up listservs with chat boards. There tends to be less anonymity with listservs because people's messages are sent directly from their email accounts. On most every chat board I've ever been on — whether for theater, music, movies, politics or anything else — people are usually somewhat anonymous in that their screen names are not their full real-life names.

As noted by others already, this board is less anonymous than many others. Many long-time members of this site know my full name, partly because I used to review books for this site (which I stopped doing mostly because I got tired of saying the same things over and over again as so many of the books I reviewed had more or less the same problems). Many of us know each other off the board (and we got to know each other originally through this board).
