To San: How safe are Sajha kurakani users?

Well, guys, I think you're on your own... as far as I know, sajha.com runs off of San's generosity, and if he doesn't like you, then tough! :-p eheh. But although I am the least bit concerned about San misusing the information (having known him here for quite a few years!), I think it's a serious question. My personal position has been that I shouldn't say online (whether I'm using nicknames or real name) what I wouldn't want to be held accountable for in the real life. You may think that you are anonymous, but the fact of the matter is that you really aren't. No need to panic, but if the authorities want, there are many ways of tracking down the source of any online transaction... Almost anything and everything you do on the Internet is logged on at least a few computers... A nickname can only protect you from other nicknames! So always play it safe, here on Sajha.com or elsewhere. They can tell what you are doing. But what if King Gyanendra or Chairman Prachanda somehow gets hold of San's database? Well, if you are afraid of that, then you probably shouldn't have said what you said to make you feel vulnerable! There's no guarantee of the confidentiality of your identity. Again, only say/do what you are willing to say/do both in public and private, in whatever [nick]names and forms you present yourself... My two cents...
