If I know you, why be ANONYMOUS?

Simply put, I'm flattered if you're paying me a compliment and would like to know who you are. I'm like J. Edgar Hoover with a Friends & Enemies List; I like to know who's on my side. I'm also a control freak. Maybe you do it deliberately to drive me nuts. Maybe you just feel weird for some reason. Maybe something else. Obviously, I can't force you to leave a name, so just know I appreciate and thank anyone who goes out of their way to offer me kind words.
