No more Anonymity?

Why bother to have an anonymous option if an ID number is listed right beside it? It totally takes away the whole point of 4chan's anonymity, right? I mean, the link at the bottom to Shiichan talks all about it. How can you blatantly go against what you stand for?

No I wouldn't. We still have anonymity.The only thing we lack now is the ability to respond to ourselves in the same topic and act like it's a different person. You get a different ID for every different topic you post in, I fail to see how there's any problem.
