A while back I made an executive decision to make comments anonymous so that I could gain traffic and build a commenting base faster. This does have drawbacks in terms of conversations not knowing who is on the other side of the conversation (at least in the sense of their online identity). I encourage as many people to sign up as possible so that I can make the switch back to requiring sign-ins. I am working on a comments policy and privacy statements and hope to have those up soon. In the meantime I can assure you that your screen name is yours and I have no way of knowing who you are since my site is hosted on Google's servers for Blogger. Even if you did tell me your screen name, which I do not recommend, my lips would be sealed anyways. You can also use your real name if you prefer.
Below is the link to a tutorial on how to sign in using Google's Gmail account. If you don't have one you can create one. I show the steps in doing this. Once you have set your account up, logging in is pretty straightforward. I would like to have a core base signed up before I switch to logins required.
