LOL... are you for real? What do you think I'm doing as I try to explain this -- I use the forums for mini-breaks while I work.What do you think I meant by "basic profiling techniques," anyway? I meant cross referencing every list that I'm almost certainly on, and coming up with perhaps 100k names or fewer. That's manageable. If you've got the resources they do and you want to find somebody, it's not a difficult thing. Let me put it this way: I'm relatively confident I could find every person who has over 1000 posts on this board if I had access to government databases. The fact that you can't imagine anyone being clever enough to do that is just... naive, I don't know how else to put it. This is what some people spend literally their entire lives doing.So we disagree. That's fine. But since it's my ass on the line and not yours, I'm trusting myself and not you. I don't see what the big problem with that is -- obviously you don't like it, but what do you want me to say here? I'm not going to do something just because you seem to think I should. Also, if you didn't realize it, I've been working on this for 3.5 months now and this thread isn't the first time I've mentioned it; even if I had talked to somebody from Silk Road... why the fuck would I actually say as much? Other than bragging rights or something, it would serve no purpose.Why would anyone else need to know?
