decades of endless campaigns to promote pseudonymity, hammering a.p.a-s
and other forums relentlessly with their "tor-mailer" and other similar subterfuge ... only doing their duty, so that makes spies the good guys
and of course, most active newsgroups are continually occupied by troll
farm marionettes, so there's nothing particularly unusual about "gab-x"
or any of their myriad aliases . . . so caveat emptor (avoid not evade)
