NavList:

To put it simply George, identity theft is why I keep most of my personal information close to my vest. I do not even like to post my town, let alone phone numbers and such. A bit of information here and there on the Internet can lead to falling victim to one of the most pervasive frauds on this side of the pond .

Still, you have a point, there is no need, especially when posting a question such as this, to remain completely anonymous.

Already, with the new Navlist arrangement, we have had two messages [Sent
anonymously from the message boards]. I do not understand this quest for
anonymity, and deplore it. Why should anyone posting on Navlist wish to
conceal his identity from the rest?

I don't know about other Navlist members, but quite a lot of my
communication with others is done backstage, off-list, and indeed most of
that has been both informative and enjoyable. It's easy for me to
communicate one-to-one with others, as they can with me, without bothering
the list.

For many years now, all my postings have included, with the email address,
my postal address and phone number, which have proved useful when the email
address is deliberately garbled, as it seems to be on the message board.
That openness has never caused me any problems. What purpose does the
garbling serve?

Why is everyone so keen to preserve their secrecy?
