That is very cool!

I have wondered... do members of the ISS crew visit CR4?

Yes but they consider themselves to be above all of us.

I'm just curious who off this planet and out of the solar system and Milky Way galaxy has supported the Aerospace section to qualify it as having Universal support.

I, too, heartily support the creation of an Aerospace Section of the CR4.

However, why is there no (directory/matrix/index) that shows how the old sections now fit into the new sections?...

Also, why do anonymous posters get to ''post'' without registering first? (ie: If they can't see their way to register first, then why is their access to CR4 anything more than (read-only)?...

And, for the record, I would be receptive to answering homework questions if the poster was ''up-front'' about identifying their question as homework in the first place, and if it was in an section labeled ''Homework''. Yes, I am asking ''Why is there not a Homework-Only Section?''

Ok, I'll get off my ''soapbox'' now...

Only two of CR4's sections were changed:

  1. Aerospace was added; content was previously posted in the General section.
  2. Transportation was renamed from Automotive; it simply expanded to include other forms of transportation (which were previously posted in the General section).

This was explained in more detail when the new section was rolled out. You can always check the CR4 FAQ to see where your post belongs.

Users must be registered to post. Anyone can view CR4 but to post you must register. Anyone can decide to post as "Anonymous Poster" by clicking the check box to do so:

As far as homework goes, you can see our take on it in the FAQ. (That point, along with some other rules for posting, appears at the top of every page where a new post is created.)

However, a question still remains of "How do we registered posters differentiate between (positive) and (negative) anonymous posters when they don't even have some kind of simple identity numbers attached to their (global) sign-in name so we can accurately (commend) the specific (positive) ones and (avoid mistakenly commending) the specifically (negative) ones?"

In short, why isn't each anonymous poster specifically identified with their own, unique, I.D number, so they can remain anonymous, but still be accountable for what they say, and what they don't say?

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Anonymous posters are consistently identified within the same thread (first one to post anonymously will be Anonymous Poster #1 in all comments within that thread, second one will be Anonymous Poster #2, etc.).

Now that I reread your comment I think you mean how do you "recognize" an anonymous poster from thread to thread. I guess you're not supposed to, otherwise that would kind of defeat the purpose.

I think the Anonymous Poster works much better than its previous version (where unregistered Guests could post) and there seems to be a lot less trolling since we made the switch.

Just to set the record straight, this was one of many April Fool's Day jokes by Google. Are there even 41 people on the ISS?
