Stephen King, in the foreward to the Bachman books told a story about how McCartney (or maybe Lennon) said he would like to just walk away from the Beatles and play in an anonymous bar band. King said something like - the public would spot you after about four notes. King tried being anonymous with the Bachman books and did not get very far before speculation swirled around that Bachman = King.

Similarly, if the President registered here with an anonymous username and posted something besides LOL or KNR, his "voice" as it were (not to make an accidental Whitney reference today) would be spotted.
