Please Consider Stopping Your Staff Posting Using Your ID

Martin,
In the following post you refer to your staff using your ID to start a thread.

I was more than a little disappointed to find your admission on the thread and to find the thread closed, although I do take my hat off to you for being honest.
If it had been any other familiar ID, I would like to think that I would have spotted it, because the posting style, presentation and content was not in line with that which I have come to expect from the ID.

Anyway, as the thread title says, please consider stopping your staff posting using your ID as I feel that you are doing your users a disservice by allowing others to post using it. You have a loyal following on these boards and IMHO if your ID posts comment, then that loyal following has a right to believe that the words, views and or opinions posted are your own.
How often your staff use your ID I don't know, but IMHO once is too often.
P.S.
On the subject of a postings style and content, this one is quite wide of your usual standards.

Actually its quite rare - most posts from me are from me - or are predrafted before hand and then given to me.
The only time we use it is when we want to start a discussion quickly and Im not there but it will be inappropriate for one of them to do it.
In which case a draft is done and then i come in and overwrite it later.
It is never done when opinion is given in any way.
