True. But then again, you don't need that much anyway. I doubt they scanned his entire email archive at least first. Just the fact of including his real email and that one post on SO seemed to have been enough to establish probable cause. His social interactions could have only been directly traced to 2-3 posts outside of Tor at most. What really did him in are the pseudonyms and similarity of preferences picked up from those few instances. So really, any online/social presence is a liability if it's contaminated with something about you offline.
