Quite the straw man, Steve. :-) Submit a broken solution, then argue
that there isn't a problem because your solution doesn't work.

It would be trivial to contextually distinguish the attribution.
Along the lines of BANNER.

However, optional authentication doesn't get me off the hook for
slanderous posts.

As I mentioned, either way I like TIMES since it saves me a little work,
although I do realize it's not quite as nice for the players.

> Having all posts be authenticated will eliminate shady press,

Not necessarily. You will just have to submit such press from shady
units.
