An appeal is not futile. For one thing the policy might be changed or it
might be decided the policy which exists does not apply in this case. If
a close examination of his editing record shows no activist activity, it
might be considered unfair to do external research which established his
identity. But then, if Ryan could do it, anyone, including an
investigative journalist could have done it.
