I think you lack the understanding of certain things so default to clueless.

Yep so what, unfortunalty it's not a crime to claim to be an expert on anything.

Could be why they havhe bouncers on nightclub doors.
Why do we have card access on the doors here.
Why do people lock doors and windows .

Or is it to keep the bad guys out.

Why have you signed up before using a fake ID.
Telling the truth by signing up with a fake ID ?
Is that honesty at it's best.

There's many ways of knowing someone from their IP address to their posting style.
Clever people can pretty much guess the work or writers painters etc without a name.
I got an email from someone I haven't heard from in nearly 20 years.
He asked if I could purchase a £100 gift vouher for them as they wanted to send a gift
to a friends daughter who was diagnosed with liver cancer last week, but they ahd problems with their amazon account,
but would reimburse me. He asked let me know when you've sent the gift voucher off to xxxxx.gmail
then I'll reimburse.
So I replied. " it is raining in my dogs trousers"
He replied and said "can you send it soon and say love from YYYY."
