-most assuredly we will see the people who want to "lift the veil" and see who's who behind the masks of anonymity... start coming round banging on the door "insisting" people are named. May as well just send another flare up in the sky ...pour more blood in the water for sharks to find us.

So ...there is a hole in the idea I threw out there...you are right...new member "randi" joins to get the list.

So.. make the registry of the names of the members part of a secure registry held in the arms of mcev or cc or both and not available for even ga members to browse.
Therein is security whilst not being completely anonymous.

I'll tell you this though szopin...you better start throwing some ideas out there that are viable.

Not just saying "informing is 1/2 the battle" ...
whilst you just do news clippings from the web and throw them here..
and continue to gripe about nothing around here getting done..
and then just shooting down ideas others give ...
without offering a better alternative...
hell ANY alternative in it's place.

'Cause you keep that up...
I can pretty much put money down on the craps table and be sure of a win on the odds that at best...
this is gonna end up being your finest one-man monologue ever.
Informing is 1/1 the battle dude, if you like any normal mortal don't have time to spend 5h verifying news you spend exactly 20 seconds on while browsing and respected journalists do the same, you buy into this 'this guy is misogynist, hang him' mentality. All you can do is inform, so people who don't have even 30min get some dug up facts. That's how Louise Mensch managed to turn the tide on Tim Hunt. Do you trust Guardian, Times, NYT??? Well, guess what, they f*** up. Forbes is now apologising, doubt Guardian will. The Sun journalist made the effort to investigate, easily dismissed at first, took 6 weeks to right the wrong (at least in general opinion, the previously mentioned rags still did not fix their reporting).
What could possibly be a solution to that if not facts?????
