You are absolutely right! You can make yourself very anonymous out here
on the Net.
I once sat down at a PC in the local library that was still logged into someone's hotmail account. I could have ruined that person's reputation by sending a rude email from their account (I didn't though).
I know one guy who uses a "female" sounding name on NGs because he says he gets flamed far less often than if he used his real, male name. Sadly, that hasn't worked in your favor. BTW - for those who don't know, Karsten is a male name. :) So I'm open to flames. Yikes!
