Journal Quixote's Journal: Anonymity at Slashdot 2
I just found something interesting. I had posted a cheapshot as an AC on a thread. Later, I got moderation points; and when I moderate, I browse at level 0. To my utter surprise, I saw that the comment I posted as AC did not have the moderation dropdown box; the other posts did. This leads me to believe that somewhere at /., they keep your ID attached to AC postings.
I wonder what would happen in case of a subpoena or other such judicial order?
So, word to the wise: please be careful when you post something as AC, because it is most definitely not anonymous.

In any case: word to the wise. I used to post <ahem> politically incorrect stuff as AC, but now I'm wiser. :-)
