I mean, they probably have a record of everything my MAC ID surfed in the Google network, right down to the last grotty You Tube video. A veritable Golem of snoopdata.

Your browser sends a lot of info about your system when it requests a website, but I don't think your wireless MAC address is included by default. If I'm wrong, we're sure to hear.

And Google knows each of us by IP and fingerprint (GoogleAnalytics). If people happen to be logged in to Gmail while logged on here. they know you even more.

Worse yet, they can identify you as single poster because Analytics updates/runs after each posting. A simple total line count compare could implicate you to your named Gmail account. By the way, I recall seeing Analytics run when crafting a post, so it knows you did that last comment with a very high probability.
