Background:There are many reasons for wishing to post as Anonymous Coward (AC). Almost all of them can be divided into 1 of 2 groups: those wishing to protect their identity so that they are not leaving a searchable trail of their views or personal data on the internet, or those not wishing to be held responsible for their actions. The problem that SoylentNews faces is that they are all treated the same by the site software. This has meant that the majority of ACs are now having to suffer an exclusion ban preventing them from participating in the full site because of the actions and behaviour of a small but significant minority.This proposal is intended to outline a method by which ACs could regain access to all areas of the site while maintaining their anonymity.The ban was imposed reluctantly and I have been seeking a solution to the problem. I believe that I may have identified such a solution but if it is not acceptable to our community (including ACs) then it can go no further. I wish to outline my proposal here and leave it open to comments to see if it can be at least part of the solution.Read more of this story at SoylentNews.

Construction started in the early 1990s and took six years to complete. It is 14' 6" long and 5' 6" wide. During the work, he had out-of-hours access to the Lancaster bomber held at the Imperial War Museum in London, UK. The replica cockpit is a showcase for working WWII electronic equipment which he has painstakingly restored.
