so many sites use that for the guest account that I doubt that many give it a second thought, but you are correct. In many cultures it may be disrespectful or degrading (which is why I always hated the book series named "**** for Dummies").

Hmmm... I just tried to post without logging in, and this forum does not allow anonymous posts. Where is "Anonymous Coward" being used? I am used to seeing this in /. and other forums that allow anonymous postings, but not here.

Hmmm... ain't that special... No idea what script sifts the database. But there is a question as to whether the page is appropriate at all -- reporting what I or anyone else is looking at feels a little "big brotherish". But then again I saw a report that there are now 32 cameras within 600' of the house Orwell grew up in.
