Sorry, I forgot to reply. I do not have any objections to anyone that
wants to maintain this information.
I am torn on it myself. I understand that people use the service and
look at the information, but I cannot get past my distaste for sites
like this that do so much anonymously. I think the site should show
who made every change and when and also should not allow anonymous
comments. Supporting the site will not help it to ever change.
