I was thinking more along the thoughts of what about my anonymity and right to privacy? If a site used this, I would probably avoid it. But I looked to see what they had to say and found this snippet on the site:

---
"As a TypeKey user, you get your own free TypeKey Profile Page, displaying only the information you choose to share. Those who are interested in finding out more about the person behind the comments on a site can visit the identity page to see what information is publicly available. You can even publish a TypeKey Profile Page while remaining completely anonymous."

So I wonder, if you can still post anonymously, why bother having the typekey system in the first place? What good is registering and then always posting anonymously(besides adding your name to their database)? Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Or am I missing something?
