> relying on IP doesn't sound lik a good idea Okay, have another idea, then: automatically assigned pseudonymous identities could be achieved by setting a cookie with a random session ID the first time a poster tries to post a message and never deleting it. But this is, essentially, a tracking cookie, albeit a first-party one. (Should we move the "automatically generated IDs for pseudonymous posting" discussion to the Fossil forum?) > your post (whoever you are) is anonymous! Don't worry, this is not a manifestation of the bug. I am just enjoying the last days of anonymity here in case it does become forbidden.
