Talk:anonymity

What do you call one who practices anonymity? Anonymitist? Anonymitarian? Anonymist?

If anyone has an answer, I'd like it soon so I can write my paper. Bob the Wikipedian 16:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

 * anonytard is derogatory

We didn't mention: levels of anonymity

 * 1) undeclared anonymity: an anonymous work, not signed as "anonymous" nor with any other phrasing
 * 2) untrackable anonymity:
 * not living behind physical or digital tracks (which are also necessarily physical [shifting physicality is physicality] according to the informational entropy but we write it for the average reader)
 * these tracks might lead to their origin/cause
 * these tracks might not lead to their origin/cause but might reveal even partially a network (even a fraudulent one, which is causally linked; thus exhibits useful patterns)
 * rare: these tracks might not exist at all

There are levels of anonymity (read CIA and police reports)
Some forms of anonymity reveal extremely many patterns. Thus we necessarily have to be specific because it is important to mention!
