We're not the only group who prefers to chat in the plural form. While we've seen that many groups have only one person at the fore at a time, we rarely front alone. Our 'we' is typically a consensus of those here interested in the conversation. When one of us does front alone they usually sign the post or mark a section of the post. Listing names among a system of three would likely be straightforward, but for a system of thirty two where typically a handful of people are present at any one time this rapidly becomes a royal pain in the arse. Gods alone know what it would be like for folks who ID as median.
All that said, saying afterward "that wasn't me, it was JoeBob" sounds like a dodge. If JoeBob never answers, it leaves people wondering if he's just a convienent "blame the dog" sort of thing.
