[John Faust]

This is a fascinating story, and it shows the limits of the anonynimity of the internet.

Yes, it's a fascinating story.

The limits-of-anonymity point you brought up is interesting:

John Michie's identity was revealed through Internet sleuthing, requiring a lawsuit and perhaps Hatfill's gravitas to get Google to give in.

However, Luigi Warren as TGS's real name was revealed the old-fashioned way: someone who knew him spilled the beans.

Whosoever revealed TGS's true identity? Were it Michie, or somebody else?

Didnt the diatribe spelling out Luigi's name mention Stellenbosch? But Michie wouldnt have known, hm?

More likely somebody Warren knew, who turned?

Very strange... Warren takes pains for years, secretively hiding behind multiple IDs and sockpuppets. Then suddenly one day, badaboom, his real name is revealed.
