Sorry to start another thread and make more work--I can't comment on the other board because, ahem, I am not registered. But you wanted to hear from guests so here is my guest comment on registering:
Totally agree about acountability but the problem is this board is mostly anonymous with handles and not names. So I don't see what the point of registering is (although it would help the moderators deal with spam and such so I can understand that since I moderate a board and that gets tedious).
Since I am opinionated (although I try to remain respectful and not name call), and my opinions are often against the grain) and since this board can get pretty heated, I just don't want to register so that anonymous people (i.e. using fake names) can PM me. I imagine the vitriol that is PM'd could be worse then what gets posted and I don't want it in my in-box. (Not different heated opinions but attacks on personality or whatever).
As much as the Park Slope Parents board is annoying, using a real name is real accountability and if you flame, people know who you are at the playground or where ever.
Just my unregistered guest opinion on why I don't register for this particular board.

we had to take down your Classified, and had no way of contacting you . .
are you saying you tried to post on that Board Admin thread and it didn't accept guest postings? :roll:
I'll merge your post on to that thread after I get a response from you here -
