again I’m no techie, but I don’t think the potential anonymity of a gmail or yahoo account etc. matters to the IP address issue........ IF some of these news organizations can be pressured to really pursue the matter and to compare the relevant IP address(es) then (I think? maybe?) there are a lot of things that can rule in or rule out about where the letter(s) came from..... I don’t know enough about this stuff but there might be some way to sort through it on a tech level....
I’m not a techie either, but I’m not sure that the newspapers can find the IP themselves and I don’t know that they’d go through the trouble to shake down Google or Yahoo.
I am amazed that she used an obviously false name for all of these letters. I mean, “Light”? Seriously?
