Nope, Ric, nope.  Several non-profit organizations I've been involved with
willingly take gifts from anonymous donors. Respected and ethical
journalists print quotes from anonymous sources all the time.
The authors of some of the greatest teachings and sacred writings from all
over the globe, for thousands of years, are anonymous to us.  Does that make
them any less inspiring or relevant?
