Why do people leave Anonymous comments?

I suppose it's a silly question but I could think of quite a few reasons for it..

1. They hate their names
2. They can't spell their names
3. They are not creative enough to make up a fancy funky from-the-top-off-the-head names
4. Lazy [I think this reason would have the maximum hits!]
5. Shy?? [yeeeks..if you're shy I don't even wanna know who you are! grow up!]
6. Too chicken to voice their thoughts and at the same time claim them as being their own
7. They think they're being mysterious[ooOooooh]
8. They can't admit they visited your blog coz of some whacko issues of their own![again..I don't think I would want to associate with you:p]
9. If they have a stolen comment at least the cops won't be after them
10. Can't be bothered to create a profile/ID and too darn stupid to realise the system doesn't recognise them automatically
11. Click 'submit' before they realise they haven't put a name [duuhhhhh!]
12. Have a misconception that the blogger would recognize them anyway [ha! dude/babe you're going through an identity crisis? I have many more friends u know:p]

Ah well..will keep adding if I have any more sudden revelations!=)

Any more bright sparks??Feel free to drop em in..

I agree with each one of you here..

fake_user...I have thought of that as well..but the point wasn't identifying them..the point of the post was to debate over what they think when they're posting anon...what are they ashamed of..why can;t they be upfront with their thoughts?

...anyway it just gave me something to think about..actually ANOTHER thing to think about..

Could be they dont want to leave behind their online identity thinking they could be "under attack"

some believe signing up leaves you prone to a user database which others can dig up to read about you and know your habits.

i feel people who leave anon comments are the ones without any guts.... of course there are the lazy ones too...

I was searching for loan to sort out my bills& debts, then i saw comments about Blank ATM Credit Card that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted thus but decided to give it a try by contacting okhideblankatmcard@gmail.com they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with$500,000,.00 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, after 48 hours later, i was shock to see the DHL agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work's after the agent left. This is no doubts because i have the card & has made used of the card. This hackers are USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!
