Yes the new site will only allow registered and logged in users to
have names, everyone else will be "anonymous".

This doesn't prevent anonymous users from "signing" their posts adn us
having the same situation.

Should we make a reccomendation that people who don't want people to
be able to spoof their name create accounts?  Then a spoofer could run
out and register someone else's name before they did and we have no
way to verify (unless like FLIPSIDE we know a real email address of
theirs already)

Hope fully their bored for now and we can ignor it a bit longer
