In this case, I think we can tell you're a dog. (You walked into that
one. :-)

Identity is not superficial. Hiding your identity tells us that
you're not responsible; you're not willing to take personal heat for
what you say; you're not willing to give out your address so we can
take stuff to private mail. Most of us here stand behind our words;
you stand behind a mask.
