Well, the third reason for posting with one's job title is that one's email
system has it in an auto-sig, and one either can't or doesn't remember to
delete it :-)

I have made no such claim. I said "If you have overall responsibility
for 
the subject in question [domain name registration], your opinion is 
effectively that of your employer."

That's fine and I do value your insightful comments. What I don't quite
understand is why signing most of the postings here with your official job
title and then claim you don't speak for your employer? In my opinion,
there 
are two main purpose of quoting official job titles. One is to represent
one's company and the other is to impress.

I agree with you and, in my opinion, you have clarified your position.

>I am deeply concerned that several people in this group are giving

realise

I share your concern.

I agree. However, in a public forum such as this, it is inevitable that
some 
people would post without considering the possible consequences.
