ElReg shouldn't index peoples comments on the search engines, that way the general public (i.e. board members, investors, employees) don't see your name when they google you.

Should you capitalize google if it's being used as a verb?

re: Anon

Anon is

a) an 1337 haxxor, who will hax your box if you tell him your ip.

b)The half cousin of aMFM.

c)someone who doesnt want their opinion to be traced back to them (for potentially legitimate reasons)

even though they dont want to tell us their names, doesnt mean they dont have anything interesting to say. After all, trolling isnt half as much fun when people know your name..

my money is on B

Anon xx
