Every internet page you visit or post you make is accompanied with your I.P. address. Example: 12.123.23.1, etc. That address can be traced back to your Internet Service Provider. They are assigned a bank of these I.P. address numbers. Your Internet Service Provider keeps a record of who the I.P. address was assigned to. You are not anonymous.
