GUEST, what I'm about to say is a serious inquiry, no smart-assedness intended.

Since you say you choose not to share your identity on the WWW, and since you say you post to a number of forums, I'd be interested in knowing how common it is for forums to allow totally anonymous posting? Seems like every forum I've ever been to other than this one requires that one become a member before being allowed to post. Most of them allow viewing by non-members, but posting by members only. Maybe I've just not found the others which allow guest posting. Could you, perhaps, provide a link or two?
