That wasn't his point. Some people here are very discrete, and don't post anything specific or identifying. Others of us are very easy to "out". A lot depends on people personal or employment status. For example, GUWonder is a top secret government spy, so he/she throws out lots of misleading factoids to throw DL off the trail. Dovster only posts coded info which any woman can see through, but which confuses men, so he is safe as long as DL management is all-male. I, on the other hand, have a direct link from my profile to my website, so any stalker can track me down.

I think the majority of FT'ers do try to stay rather anonymous, and that makes perfect sense. But once they land on OMNI, it's all over.

I also think, for the most part, DL management has too much else to do to be bothered tracking down which Fyertalker tricked a GA into a re-route to gain an extra 500 MQM's, or any other crime which we boast about here.
