Anonymous to who? Surely, the monks could put a cookie in your computer to identify whover is connecting? The monks can also tell by IP address and daily patterns, who Anonymous Monk actually is. I'm sure the NSA could track back any anonymous post to whatever computer sent it.

The only real value to Anonymous Monk is that it offers some privacy to people who can't login officially, maybe because they are currently sitting in a cubicle, and it is against company policy to do any outside work.

Another use, is to prevent flare ups of old grudges. You can respond without others knowing it was you. :-)
