I just received an email from a non-alumni telling me about the passing of his brother. I posted his comments and put his name at the bottom. When I post this it shows with my name as the poster. Is there a way to post this a like a generic post with no name attached? I know I would not want a member to post like this but I just mean in this case?
(Joseph Santilli '72) in case you want to see what i mean.

couldn't you create an "Anonymous Guest" account. Then when you get something like this, just login as that guest and post the message, then logout. Would that work?

I think that would work! Does this make sense or is this being overly concerned. I meant all we are really talking about here is my name at the top of the link. Maybe I am overthinking a little? Let me know what you think.

You could even create the guest being the brother's name if everyone knew the brother. (unless he is already a member. He might think it weird that he posted, but he didn't really post it)

I like Kyle's idea. You could include at the bottom of the text "Posted by Ray Guim on behalf of (brother's name)."

I beginning to think this is not really necessary. I like the "Anonymous Guest" idea but I don't really want to see a bunch of Anonymous's. I think I will just post it an put the sender's name at the bottom. Although I did have a problem when someone sent me something and they saw their name posted there and they did not like it at all. I really don't know why this would be a problem but I guess I can understand a little in that if you google your name and it comes up under an obit. I guess I can understand, a little. So the problem is not solved. I guess I will do each one individually.
