To be fair the reason I don't put my name is years ago I did on a forum, and I got told to knock it off, mostly because people could tell who I was due to my writing style.
I'm trying out things with signatures. Mine's down below the footer for the list, because client reasons and I'm seeing if I can move it up above the quoted text. So if you want to know who wrote something, skip to the end of the footer. Not idea, but, y'know, best I can do right now Jace. Check the signature at the end of the footer. My words are here. My signature isn't! On Fri, Apr 15, 2022 at 03:03:15PM +0200, Linux for blind general discussion wrote: > > Just my observations though about the anonymity of this list: > > 1.
