Actually, signing in makes you more anonymous than not signing in, because it reveals your IP address, which can (sometimes) reveal near which city you live. Signing up for an account here is not like Facebook, where you have to put in your real name. You can just put in a username and nothing else, like me. The only change is that, instead of being a sequence of numbers that people don't trust, you have a name. And you have to remember your password.
