This is an interesting question...as mentioned earlier people post and want or don't want to be anonymous for different reasons.
Listing the author:
Ego..."look at me, look at what I wrote...recognize me...give me a banana."
Creating discussion and communication -- having a discussion with a known person or group, therefore making it more real
Remaining anonymous:
Confidentiality -- being able to post items that may be useful to bring up, but are sensitive (without being damaging to anyone, of course)
Personality -- I think that introverts may not necessarily feel that they need this sort of recognition (such as myself)
When there are multiple editors/writers -- someone will get in there and re-write (and if someone thinks it's there post that may not go down so well)
Is it better to
1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?
