ON WISH LISTS, ANONYMITY AND DECORUM

As a relatively new member (and I won't be able to use that excuse much longer), I'm learning the whys and what-nots of the site. And while perusing those who have become my favorites, I've come upon wish lists. And I admit to using said lists.

AND NOW FOR A STUPID QUESTION.

Is it considered bad form to reveal to the recipient your identity, maintain anonymity, or is it up to you to determine how you handle it. I don't ask because I'm seeking personal recognition (it would be nice,let's be real), but I just enjoy giving. Family issues have made the last two holiday seasons rather sucky, so this is actually therapeutic.
Besides, it's like Levee said on her wish list, "a girl can never get enough gifts".

Just want to play and it would help to know the rules.

I always appreciate knowing who it's from so I can thank them. I think most people think the same.

Yaaay! That was from you! I was wondering where it came from. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it I just got it today, can't wait to start reading it.

Oh so it was you?! Thank you ever so much, that was terribly kind of you. I have actually been ridiculously excited about the Perec, have you read it? It just looks so like 'my kind of novel' and I had been thinking, well I'm going to be staying up for blocks of 13 hours at work so this could be the perfect book to take with me, it seems involving and intriguing and that's what I'll need to keep me awake right?! I'm sorry to read your last two holiday times haven't been great, I hope it starts to improve. I think most of the time people like to know who has given them a gift so they can say thank you but it's really up to the giver and it's a lovely thing to enjoy making people happy :-)
