Interesting post. I'll read the book. In fact, I'll even order it now, via your Amazon link.

Oddly, I recently found myself thinking about these issues, as I was in rare agreement with a Fox News editorial. Their argument was that what the internet needs is less cheap anonymity and more genuine privacy. Cheap anonymity, I think, is what gives rise to troll-like attacks, like my Prokofy Problem. (You called it a "Proklem," right? -- Brilliant.) In my case, Catherine Fitzpatrick hides behind her fake name and throws innuendo, half-truths, and outright false accusations at my real identity, trying to get as much to stick as she can. It seems not to be working, which is nice, but it's mildly annoying that it is out there, and if it had come from a more stable source, I suppose it could have done real damage.

I'm really looking forward to reading this; there's a lot more going on in the privacy/publicity sphere than I understand or have given hard thought to, and I look forward to using this as a springboard for that. Thanks for the review.
