website etiquette q

[Anonymous]

So since we're all anonymous, if I post more than once in a thread am I supposed to always identify myself as a pp? I would never intentionally try to make it seem like I am different people (sock puppet?) but if I am not correcting a typo or directly expanding on what I said earlier, it wouldn't necc. occur to me to identify myself as "13:45" or whatever.

I'd only worry about doing that if it matters to the context of the discussion.

Yeah, I think the previous poster is right on the money. If the discussion is one where the number of posters holding a certain view might be important, then you should identify yourself in order to not "stuff the ballot box". But, if that doesn't matter, then don't.
