- You're speculating as to what Mo would tell you. Again,
- why don't you ask?
-
- And as for what Cliff has said here, it was along the
- lines of: anybody can get an anonymous account if they are
- willing to cover up and lie about their identity going in.
- (I imagine lying about one's reasons for wanting
- anonymity might work also.)
-
- The fact that devious individuals can work around the WELL's
- policy is not at issue here.
