> membership barrier could lead to a false sense of security and more regretted posts.
It could... But of course anyone is free to sign up... I would imagine... Things would just continue on as per usual. I mean... Would you be tempted to post more identifying info than usual if you knew people had to sign up before reading?
> I don't sign up for sites without first seeing what they have to offer me..
Maybe because you found a good site already?
>If someone is determined enough to work out who you are, they're determined enough to sign up first.Well... Someone might know you frequent the site but they might not be so very interested as to sign up. And if they did sign up then at least they would know something about the purpose of the site etc. And if they got that far... They would still have to find the person. And... That sounds like a lot of bother to me...
> There are a number of websites I choose not to visit from work as I don't want them to know about them.
If alternative internet access was available then I would do the same.
>I think the answer is obvious..
It may well be :-(
