Imagine being a member of a family and reading such posts signed by some anonymous strangers who go by screen handles like "Revolting cat!" or "Dead Corpse":

Remember, this family is a young, hip, SF-tech type. It would probably give the wife a sad smile to see "Revolting Cat!" I'm sure the culture at cnet can be equally irreverent.

However, you have a point about "Dead Corpse."

[Revolting cat!]

OK, I'm sorry if I harshed your mellow (no, seriously.) I should have kept my observations to myself or posted them minus the judgments, like King of Florida had done before me.
