So there were several times when I was posting as "unregistered" when I had put in Guest 1 but it got deleted. Once I realized this was happening it happened less.

Second, the only reason I registered was because I had been sucked into a discussion and felt that to respond to Igzy I needed to start a new thread.
Sorry. I was not making any particular statement concerning any particular person. I just note that there have been concerns raised that conversations between members and undefined "Unregistered" people have been problematic. And the delays in posting due to the moderator's required intervention is a problem even if everyone chooses a consistent temporary name and manages to get it right every time.

And, as I have suggested that a little more moderator intervention might be required anyway, not burdening him/her with too much hands-on work with unregistereds is preferred. I do believe that engaging in the discussions implies membership and should be reflected in actually becoming a member. Monikers need not be revealing. Like 77150. A number might be meaningful to someone, but not likely to anyone else. Same for many of the kinds of monikers found here. They are only as revealing as the users desires to make them.
