Ah, then I apologize. You sort of lumped the PRC in with other intelligence agencies, and I misinterpreted your comment as being afraid of some sort of "sysop conspiracy." I agree with your sentiments.

Have we really fallen so far that we cannot conceive of a person being concerned for the welfare of someone other than themselves?
I don't try to hide my identity. I post under my real name and real email address (under a domain that I own which is hosted on servers I control, including one that sits a mere three feet from me right now). But I'm not living in the PRC, and I don't take my life in my hands simply by telling the truth. Some people do. Those are the people we need to protect, and requiring email confirmation just makes it harder and more risky for them.
