[...] I do disagree with the aspects of the decision that take NightJack’s role as a police officer into account, in terms of discipline and so forth – although unnecessary, I don’t think they were appropriate to an examination of a privacy claim of this nature. To protect the rights of the whistleblower, there needs to be a more subtle examination. (There is also the non-legal approach to the protection of anonymity: outlined in admirable clarity and with a dash of humour at the Online Journalism Blog) [...]

Thanks – have changed the link to another one that’s more anonymous. Have also amended the guidance slightly to address Hibbo’s sarcasm…

Actually, I’d advise against using that online pen name generator if anonymity is what you want. Or at least if you do then don’t put your real name in it to start with! It gives the same name back for your input each time, so somebody taking a guess at your real name could use that to confirm it.

I hope the oppressed of the world may read your technological and cutting edge tips.

A triumph!
