[Asks, why is anonymity/pseudonymity useful when posting?]
[excellent reasoning by Mr. Broiles deleted] Also, as in the case of newsgroups such as alt*.abuse.recovery, the very fact that your perp might be on the net, and harass or attempt to extract revenge or retribution for posting, is a great reason to be anonymous. There is a very real threat that if you post about your perp and he finds out who you are, you might find yourself facing the business end of a rather large, loaded, gun in the hands of a very pissed-off individual. -- Ed Carp, N7EKG erc@wetware.com 510/659-9560 an38299@anon.penet.fi, anon-1157@twwells.com If you want magic, let go of your armor.
