Well, I would too, actually, DB--as it is now. There was a time that it did go away. But I believe there was pressure to bring it back, and it was reinstated.

I don't participate in discussion, and the few times I've checked in to the political forum, I was horrified. So I would be happy if it is discontinued. However, there are civil people like Redwitch and others, very knowledgeable and civil people who would enjoy discourse--including my husband the Poly Sci major. I would enjoy reading what they have to say and try to glean something I haven't considered. But it's too hard to wade through all the knee-jerk reactions posed as knowledge.

I really think the anonymity was a very bad idea and makes moderation impossible.
