I'm undecided if it's a good thing or not, but then again I don't post derogatory, slanderous comments about people. But I will add though, that I shouldn't have to disclose my identity on places like this forum if I don't want to, and if any criminal activity was to be linked to my activities, anonymous or not, I could be traced easily back to my ISP. Unless I use proxy or two to reroute my connections (which joe bloggs wouldn't have the foggiest how to do), then it becomes increasingly hard to track And besides, who's saying I don't just lie about who I am? how could anyone prove it?
