It chooses the "From" user of the message that you're replying to, which is
good, and I (almost) always
go with that as well.

I don't think it's a big deal, and most of the time it doesn't really matter,
but sometimes it makes a
difference.

 Hu> These are public message bases with public conversations. Not personal

That doesn't really have any bearing on anything.  We've had "To" fields in
public messages for a long,
long time, and for reasons.

 Hu> emails. I'll just make my replies to anonymous to avoid any conflicts.

"All" would be a better choice than "anonymous", as that's the typical way to
address your message to the
entire group.

 Hu> The reader will have to figure out who said what.

That's doing a disservice to the reader, but if you don't have the time for
etiquette then so be it.

 Hu> I might as well remove my signature to I guess.

Why?  Maybe you feel under attack here, but please don't take it that way. 
This is a mostly
self-moderating forum and I think many of us just want clarity and to keep it
orderly.
