I lost my anonymity in about 1993-95, before I got my _first_ internet connection.

Things that happened far away, far far from here. And, well, also here.

Yes, there has been a need for complete privacy, and I knew quite well how to get there... it was when I sent PGP encrypted messages that seemed to be plain English but were in fact heavily coded even before PGP encryption, sometimes so heavily coded that in a week I did not have an idea myself how I had got the final message. But I don't need such messages any more.

After that I have not needed a complete anonymity. What if a hacker sees me using GC? Hehehehe. They have known it since my first message to GC. And what if they go to the police station? I went there myself a few years ago, telling that I was persecuted. I also told the reason why (or two reasons).

Windows 10 is fine for me now, I am old, and I am quite sure that nothing will happen to me during the years I have left.

No hard feelings.
