I highly recommend not to post anonymously. I value the voice of 
people way more if they don’t hide behind a pseudonym. If you 
feel you need to be anonymous to protect your position at work 
then I pity you, as I wouldn’t be working at a place like that. I 
think everybody benefits when people post under their real name. 
Not the least the poster, as every valuable contribution to a 
discussion will add to her/his professional credibility.
