You're not alone. I don't quite understand the war against anonymity on the internet. Seeing someone's real name and photo next to a comment doesn't make what they say or do on the net any more civil.


"This is a great Python module." -Guido van Rossum

"This is a cool display technology." -John Carmack

"Here's a great link to send to skeptics about global climate change." -Al Gore

"This article is pseudo-science at best, and lies at worst." -Bill Nye

"I'm sorry, Pluto." -Neil deGrasse Tyson

Without attribution, none of those comments are remotely interesting. (They're all made up, but you get the idea.)

When I Search for things now, I see top results from previous co-workers, who have Shared things. Those results LEAP out at me.
