Plenty of people seem to make that mistake. If you use the Preview Post button it becomes ticked again, so it is an easy mistake to make.
OK, so you posted anonymously but intended to post as you.
Firstly consider whether it really matters. Is it important that people know it was you that made the post? If not then just leave it.
Normally when I see someone posting "^ That was me" I think "So what".
If you really do need your message to appear as you and not as anonymous it would be easier for us (the mods) if you just post exactly the same thing again in your own name. So there would be two identical posts, the anonymous one then your one. Then all we have to do is delete the duplicate anonymous post to tidy up the thread.
With "^ That was me" messages we cannot tidy it up easily so we don't bother. But this means the thread remains more messy than it needs to be. So please don't do that, instead do as I suggested above.
But again, first consider whether it really matters. Most of the time it doesn't.
