so we have "practical anonymity" if we practice basic net hygeine; but really, if somebody seriously wanted to find out who was behind a nick, there's a decent chance they could.
and for sure the government could. probably most corporations easily could. privacy is an illusion.

I don't have a problem with goverment or anybody else to know what I do and how I look or what I think. I do nothing wrong and pay all taxes.
My pic is me, my email is me, the whois is me too.
Being open & public creates more trust then it creates threats is my believe.
Know your customer I hear a lot but know your supplier nobody speaks off.
