you can do this on facebook either. but it's not a proper way of
doing things. it's a hack because of circumstances caused on the other
side of the line. btw., i mentioned your article because it made me
believe that you have a clear idea of *informational selfdetermination*
(see here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Informational_self-determination)

now i learned that your idea is rather vague and biased. sorry for
having you mentioned. please excuse myself for the irritation this may
have caused.

bugzilla never asked me for approval of its unbalanced account
management rules either

what do you want from me? why my bug report is not important? i
made it very clear that it is the official bug report. you seem
to be a bugzilla-lover? ok, but that's of no interest to me or
the actual case. bugzilla needs a valid email address and, thus, does
not allow me to create an *anonymous* account (strange idea!) yes, i
*can* type in fake data but why? would you want that? am i the one who
brings up this stupid problem? other trackers allow me to close my
account and even create a new one under the same name - without any
internal mis-associations. it's just working like with mailing lists.
the bugzilla developers instead have stated very clearly that they want
the accounts to be open for ever - and that they look at the provided
data as if it were *owned* by the bugzilla database. and, i already had
trouble with an administrator who refused to close my unused account
and told me that my private data (not talking about the bug reports) is
*his* property, the server is in usa and we're talking about the
rights-free zone internet. it took me a long discussion on the
developers' mailing list to get him convinced that he is a bit
wrong-minded. i never, never, never again open an account in bugzilla -
no way!
