The trolls will no longer have a central source to look up whether I
posted as Roy Culley today, or as Sinister Midget.
People like Erik and MIDL will be even more in demand for the trolls.
They'll be able to charge high dollar for tracking down message IDs and
the use of certain letter and number combinations that are dead
giveaways that we're all the same person, or 3 people at most.
Maybe Timmy and Hadnone can finally learn a trade from those guys, too.
