Lets take a look at what happened in posts 1 & 2 of this thread.

STL asked Hoss a question without giving his personal info,
and Hoss answered STL's question.

so... uh... what exactly is it that STL wants Hoss to do,
if Hoss is already answering anonymous questions of RCU posters?
There are plenty of places Hoss answers anonymous questions, and you guys are upset that there is one little corner of the internet where he might not... but he just might, as evidenced by him answering some questions there.

Perhaps Hoss will relax his rules
if Mark S has more relaxed rules on RCU folks posting him questions in his RCU AMA Candidate Subforum.
Dunno, we'll have to wait & see what Hoss does, or what Mark does.
