You misunderstand my concern - it's not merely that good content will
be eliminated, though that is a problem. It's that making vanity-
hunting a priority in any way encourages assumptions of bad faith -
every article on a person or corporation becomes something we have to
try to sniff out the creator of.
Content decisions should not require paranoid checking of the
contributors.
