Expanding on my previous post...

I am amazed that posters worry about a federal registry, yet they participate in Facebook, MySpace, etc. For that matter, they obviously participate in TFL.

If the Feds really wanted to get data, they'd get it. I have a hacker friend or two who could probably identify any poster on the forum within a day, two tops. Imagine what the FBI or NSA could do.

Better to get the laws we want, and keep the pressure on the government (all three branches) to prevent misuse of information and to protect Constitutional rights. Because, like I said, the data is already out there. It's only a matter of sifting and collating.
