I prefer to know who I am reading, even if, as in the case of many usernames here, the knowledge is no more than “this is the same person who wrote these other things”. It gives context to the words: what they mean can depend very much on who is saying them. And one can hardly have a coherent conversation if there is no way to join up separate comments into a single identity.
