So.. Just for fun.. This comes to you all via hotmail. If I chose to 
flame/dis/rage on at you, could you tell who I am?

I only just today joined hotmail, and from there subscribed to web4lib. 
I have posted to web4lib before, under a real name.

I think I will probably adopt a 'both worlds' approach.... I will 
disallow hotmail, botmail, freemail, etc, but allow registered users 
telnet access to their campus mail accounts.

>From there, they are accountable for their e-mail.

>From here, I don't think I can be made to be.

I don't mean this to be a challenge... just a demonstration of the power 
of anonymity.. Since I did it all from my personal workstation, I 
*might* be traceable by IP address. If I'd gone out to the floor, I 
don't think anyone could track me.
