Default You are wrong

You should have left this two year old plus thread alone because your answer, about 99% anonymity, is totally wrong.

If the authorities get your IP address, which you admit is visible, then they can trace your ISP and, through your ISP, you.

How do you think the RIAA (and the MPIAA) catch file sharers?

Just remember that ISPs, in both Europe and America, have to keep a log of their users activities so that they can be inspected as and when the authorities (and those organisations with police-like powers) want to do so.

Internet anonymity is a myth.
