Hmm. I'd think 1.5 trumps that, but to each their own. 🙂
As for the gist talking about your comments in tracker being shown as from an "unknown user", I've seen that (there and with some very old blog comments). And I presumed it was simply being a data migration issue (where someone punted) rather than being nefarious. . Stupid maybe, on someone's part, or perhaps just a problem in the "too hard" pile.
But hey, if one wants to engage in conspiracy theories, when the old blogs.coldfusion.com was moved to the new coldfusion.adobe.com portal a few years ago, nearly all my past comments were lost...hundreds if not thousands over several years. (It's often very apparent, though many would never notice. I certainly did.) And I saw no one else's "lost in the shuffle". It was very dismaying, I can tell you, but nothing could be done. No backups to resort to, I was told. Again, stupid or somehow "too hard" to have done the migration right. I had to suck it up.
But my point is that I'd vastly prefer if the comments were there as "unknown user" vs gone entirely. 🙂 But I get your point. I'd just not see that unknown user thing in tracker to be of any evil intent--and certainly nothing that I'd let keep me from sharing, there or here (just like the purge of my comments back then did not). But again, different strokes.
Interesting perhaps for some to hear how the sausage is made, though this is buried indeed in this 13 yr old thread! 🙂
