Obviously bank balance isn't the point with what I proposed. I can't imagine why anyone would think that it was. Dr. Bob's purpose in proposing it may well have been to raise funds to offset the cost of running this site. My purpose was to have Dr. Bob have access to identifying information. It's pretty easy to open email addresses and register under multiple names here. It's a heck of a lot harder to open or obtain credit cards under different names. Not impossible certainly, but a lot more difficult than going to Yahoo or Hotmail.
I'm not crazy about sending identifying information to Dr. Bob. I'm not planning to come to the meeting in Chicago. But if he can make the information secure, I trust him enough to send him that information.
As to whether that's the answer to a more peaceful Babble, I couldn't say. At the moment, my opinion is that a more peaceful Babble is a pipedream. But I'm hoping that I can be persuaded otherwise.
