With a moderately careful user and a slightly more robust implementation it would have done exactly what it was meant to do, and what my ultimate goal is - which is to enable (but not guarantee) a longer term, archival level of privacy. The concept is not perfect, but it is a massive improvement, which could lay the groundwork for a future framework where user privacy and community management are both handled in more elegant ways. Without going into too many details, I am extremely well aware of how data gets linked to users in this way, which is why I am so adamant and vocal about this particular threat. I am not just sounding an alarm to keep my skin smooth.
