I think its a reasonable solution to people not wanting to make an account or also the occasional anonymous post. I have used it once or twice to make separate comments.
But I should add that you can see a list of your nearest meetups if you set your location on your own account.
Edit: holy hell the person who posted all the OT comments here is really annoying and should make an account and stop link-dropping. If the account is being abused that bad we should shut it down and I would change my vote in the poll.
From the upvote to downvote ratio it looks like more members think the posts by Username in the open thread are worthwhile - at the time of writing they are mostly among the higher top-level comments on this week's open thread, and several have sparked at least a bit of subsequent discussion in the form of follow up comments.
True, they're only links (with quoted text) but this doesn't particularly strike me as abuse of the Username account.
I am suspicious of the link-drop attitude to posting anywhere. Even if it looks to have value added this time.
