Do people really almost get fired for what they write here?  I'd think 
there would be more constructive things to do by management than read 
nanog for questionable posts.  If I were managing someone and they 
posted their feeling on a subject and clearly said it was their own who 
am I to have a problem with that.  It might be in my best interest and 
listen to them then silence them.

Sorry, but there are valid reasons for posting anonymously.  As one person 
that almost got fired from a company for expressing what was clearly marked 
as his own opinion to this list, I can attest to this.  Some employers are 
concerned that you post during working hours, some are concerned that you 
use a work address, some are concerned that anything you say, no matter what 
email you use, will be considered as representations of the company's 
direction, even if it is clearly marked as not.

I like helping and sharing my opinions, but I'm not willing to loose my job 
over it.

Perhaps it's time to bar posting privileges from those who insist on
remaining entirely anonymous?

I doubt that anyone who has anything substantive to offer would need to
use a hushmail/yahoo/etc. return address.

The initial posts from Bandy, Vaul, et al were mildly amusing at first,
but the novelty wore out very quickly.
