I also would like to know how they got Buckhead's name. I thought our identities were secure. What's up with that?

Must've been some inadvertent clues in his posting history. Be careful about what you post if you're worried about someone finding out who you are.

The Times identified him by piecing together information from his postings over the past two years,

Our identities are secure unless we post personal information about ourselves.

As an example, if someone were really serious about finding me they could. My profile shows the small town I live in. My posting history reveals bits and pieces of my personal experiences. Someone with lots of time on their hands could eventually figure out who I am if they really were motivated to do so.

With Buckhead the the Times was extremely motivated to find out who he was. They put 2 + 2 together and then more than likely called the person they suspected to be him and asked him if it was him.

Hecky yes, how did they get Buckhead's name?

I know that a couple of days ago Buckhead wouldn't disclose his name, rank or serial number. Are they speculating to enable themselves to discredit the conservative activist scum that he must ohmygodalmighty surely be?

On the other hand if Buckhead is indeed Harry MacDougald why can't he have observations? As Ann Coulter so aptly put it, a fourth grader could have seen that the memos were forgeries.

Modesty prevents me from commenting on what you're wearing right now :)

They are. Jim will never reveal identies of posters. Only he knows, and then, it's only email and IP addresses. The stuff you give when you register. The mods don't have this info. They are speculating and trying to get us to reveal additional info. They are grasping at straws. We don't know if this is our buckhead.
