I completely completely support Anonymous Monk++ because the pros are so much more important than the cons.
Pros
- Anon knows more than any of us. (Many knowledgeable people > you.)
- Freedom: anon fears no social repercussions and thus will speak with a freer tongue in politically charged situations.
- Anon is the gateway drug to the crack of PerlMonks. (Easy for new lusers.)
Cons
- It can be hard to make sense of threads with 5 instances of anon responding. (It helps if you add least add some kind of handle, but whatever.)
- Easy to confuse with AnomalousMonk because I'm old and my eyes are bad.
- Spam
- Sniping

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
