Ok, just spent a minute looking over the AD forum, and I don't see how they are any less anonymous (by Lopez's standards) than this forum, or any other one I've seen for that matter.
Foghorn was right freakin' on...it's the content, stupid.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you can email users through the board, right? And if Lopez doen't understand why people may be a little wary to plaster their names, work email addresses, etc... all over a public forum, then he's denser than I thought.
