And just to be clear, you and I agree on [[RealNames]] as the standard.  Where we disagree (I think), is on IP vs psuedo.  For me, an IP is not a person, it's a machine or an anoyance or a spammer.  A psuedo is a person.  I'd rather know their name and interact with them that way, but it is a person to me.  It's less of a person than someone using their [[RealName]], for sure, but way more of a person to me than is an IP.

''No it would never bother me if you never logged in.  I would learn the IPs that you posted from.  So we agree on [[RealNames]] - but we have a big gap on the Ip vs Psudonym.  I feel the opposite, an psudonym is a jokester, someone who I don't think this that seriously, not a person. I feel it is a trap to think of a psudonym as an identity.  An IP to me can represent the beautiful anonymity that the wiki can provide.  I read IP and psudonym edits in similar light, content.  I am not inclinded to revert anything that anyone has done, unless it is obvious spam, because I want them to explore their ideas, however simple they may be, or however I may not understand them yet. 
Much of what I have been thinking about in regards to some of our (diffs) is in the BalancingProcessAndProduct realm, if that makes any sense. I am still groking it.  Thanks for your thoughtfullness Ted.  Best, MarkDilley''
