In my case it is not that users are choosing to be anonymous it is  
that I don't give them the option of having an account. Forums are  
the biggest part of my web site and until I can have a unified  
account structure with single-signon I'm not going to provide typo3  
accounts.

I also feel that if a field is provided to the user the information  
entered in that field should be stored along with all other information.

I really appreciate that you provide this extension for free Toni and  
if I can express my opinion on how this particular feature should  
perform it would be as follows

1st choice) On the front end everything is working fine. The only  
modification would be if an email address is entered to store it in  
the back end author's email address field. In this case news  
submitter is "Unregistered" rather than "Anonymous"

Distant 2nd choice) If the email address can not be stored in the  
back end then the email address field should not show up unless a  
user is logged in.

Thanks again for this extension Toni.

Cheers,
Eric
