Dear Not-So-Anonymous-Girl:

I'm totally switching careers to be a private investigator. It is just too easy.
.

Case in point (this just keeps getting better): It's clearly necessary that I point out that the server-hiding program YouHide just doesn't work. You (& you know who you are, of course) probably need to know that.

What is an Anonymous Proxy Server? Anonymous proxy server is a routing communications between your computer and the Internet that can hide or mask your unique address to prevent unauthorized access to your computer over the Internet. An address is your computer's digital ID while you are online. By masking this, it helps prevent other web sites that can gain access and gather personal information about you through your unique address. Any anonymous proxy server can disguise your online ID by using its own address in place of yours in every outgoing request. Therefore, helping protect your privacy while you are online.

Translation: YouHide can (so you thought) be used to hide your identity when you're looking at a blog.

Have I mentioned how much I love StatCounter?
.

Step 1: Read StatCounter

Step 2: Notice strangely familiar Wells Fargo IP address (the location doesn't matter- it just depends where the servers are- e.g. I work in Greenwich, but my IP address says a small town in New York)

Step 3: Notice suspicious link (from a weird YouHide address)

Step 4: Click on aforementioned suspicious link

Step 5: Suspicious link takes me (gasp!) to the person's blog who likely (I'm just guessing here) made a not-so-friendly comment on my blog, who then came back & looked through all of the comments on that post.

So simple. Amazing!

I'd post a screen shot of her blog, but that just wouldn't be nice.

Isn't modern day technologyamazing?

:)

(And Anonymous Girl [although I know your name]: Go be nice to someone! Shoo!)
