Good point!
Most of these electronic systems provide a record of the meeting,
thus the only way to preserve out-of-meeting anonymity is to have
in meeting anonymity.
I also liked the idea that when we speak face to face we take
for granted that our ideas are in "rough" form... once they are written
down they become "cast in concrete". When we use these
electronic systems where we type at computers the freedom of
speaking is lost as one's new born ideas are put in print.
