Anonymous asked: Tom, I know you always complain about the anonymous asks, and say that people with their names listed get priority, so why not just turn off anonymous asks?
There are times when anonymous questions are warranted. I don’t want somebody who has a legitimate question and a legitimate reason for not wanting to give a name to be left out because a bunch of chowderheads used their anonymity to behave like jerks.
I wear big-boy pants. I’m perfectly capable of deleting or ignoring any question I choose. So it’s no great impediment to me. And I tell you that stuff about prioritizing the questions that come from accounts with names so that you understand the rules and the hierarchy. But in the final analysis, what I want to answer trumps everything.
