There also could be an option like Quora have where you can submit anonymously, where instead of it saying "by USER" it says "by anon" with no link to a users profile etc.

However, I don't think that it really makes a big difference either way but it is a nice idea.

The problem with that approach is that the asker needs to post follow ups and respond in thread. I don't know how Quora handles it, but it sounds like more work than PG would like to put into any feature with such little benefit.
