Sure, but when anyone takes an interest in someone else, we all know the odds "something bad" will happen, even if "bad" is simply "embarrassment of the person with the interest". Similarly, I suppose what I'm getting at is there really is no such thing as complete anonymity, just the temporary pretence of it. I mean, of course, lack of interest and luck can contribute to your anonymity these days, and time might diminish the odds that something can get traced back to you, but ... you never know. ;-) Edit: I posted this elsewhere but it's relevant here too - http://pandodaily.com/2013/10/26/i-challenged-hackers-to-investigate-me-and-what-they-found-out-is-chilling/ http://pandodaily.com/2013/10/26/i-challenged-hackers-to-inv...
