> Given that, as a thought experiment, would you be OK with your answers/comments being attributed to others, or that once you've submitted them, there is no linkage to you at all? Would it be as satisfying of a process if your contributions are just dissolved into a soup of other data irreversibly?
Yes. Wikipedia _almost_ operates like this. I have no expectations of anyone digging into who wrote what, it turns into a soup of information. I still do know I contributed, but I don't care if what I wrote gets rewritten, replaced, improved.
4chan does operate like this, and back in the days that /prog/ had meaningful discussions, I enjoyed participating in threads there.
