fyi

I just learned something new again this morning.

There is actually an official term for anonymously posting on someone's blog.
Check this out.

"Anonymous Coward" is a term applied within some online communities to describe users who post without a handle; it is a dummy name attributed to anonymous posts used by some weblogs that allow posting by people without registering for accounts. The practice originated on Slashdot, where the mildly derogatory term is meant to chide anonymous contributors into logging in. Some weblog engines such as Scoop use the term "Anonymous Hero" instead, perhaps to avoid the name's confrontational nature.

Now, what I would like to know, what is the official word for someone who leaves a comment and then removes it, along with their name, though you have the e-mail comment?

Any thoughts?
