Re: Anonymous editing trial.

Only four people have complained directly to me about it.  And only one 
really seemed adamant about it.  I was just talking with Tomato the 
other day and she mentioned some had complained to her as well so I 
thought it was worth at least taking a look at.

Honestly at this point I'm perfectly happy with getting Sessions fixed 
and then see how things go and if anyone else complains after a while of 
that being fixed.
