OK, so the film has already started and I'm still looking for my seat.

I don't mind anyone using the privilege of anonymous posts. Hell, I changed
my E-mail / Post name for a similar reason. However, the privilege (no its
not a right) to use the anonymous system should not be abused. So far you're
posts have been reasonable, but I'm uneasy watching someone claiming to be
afraid of being persecuted (by E-mail?) and then setting out to attack
somebody else's credentials whilst hiding behind an anonymous id.

I just thought I ought to mention that if I really wanted to, I could find
out your real userID. Granted, it is _very_ difficult. But it's not totally
impossible either. Don't believe me? Write a letter to alt.hackers and ask
them, I bet you'll be surprised at the answer. This isn't to scare you, but
to make you realise that the anonymous id isn't a license to say whatever
you want just because nobody knows where it came from.

Use the anonymous id to defend yourself, not to attack others.
