Anonymous Coward
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Anonymous Coward" is a term applied within some online communities to describe users who post without a screen name; it is a dummy name attributed to anonymous posts used by some weblogs that allow posting by people without registering for accounts. The practice, which had its roots in BBS and USENET culture, was made especially popular on Slashdot, where the mildly derogatory term is meant to chide anonymous contributors into logging in. Some weblog engines such as Scoop use the term "Anonymous Hero" instead, perhaps to avoid the name's confrontational nature. Others use stronger varieties, like Plastic.com's "Anonymous Idiot", and SuicideGirls' "Random F*ckbag".
We have all had our tryst with 'em.
I'd like to dedicate this post to that Random F**kbag who, with a brilliant sense of insightful understanding about what goes around in College, decided that the person would do his/her part. (Okay, I know who you are, ...there's a thing called IP address and there's also a thing called Common Sense.)
I'd rather be not presumptuous, and I'd move on ...
A quick google and it returns:
Personalized Results 1 - 10 of about 2,090,000 for "anonymous said".
That only includes the do-follow comments.
There're a whole lot of anonymous comments on this blog of mine, too. So, I thought, I'd list them up for the newer readers here, and those who just don't browse around where the comments are.
I'm of the opinion that, speaking face to face, gives the conversation a new meaning, a new level.
Hope, even some of you are with me. :-)
