Is this a reasonable compromise?
I really like it the way it is. (Not trying to sound like ERAC Management or anything.:))
It is a little bit confusing to have Unregistered users you can't distinguish, but so what? Their thoughts and ideas are still very good.

Actually, do you remember when someone recognized me on the board and put my name and I asked you to delete it? I still have no idea who wrote that. Of course, my username does include my group and one's username does not have to provide such details. But still... If I gave more of a shit about my job right now, I might not have registered.

The choice of to Register or not to Register gives FailingEnterprise.com
a sense of freedom and democracy, something the ERAC employee longs for.
