I live in a small town. The town has a discussion board forum. If I sign up anonymously, can the moderator still figure out who I am? How? Does my personal computer itself leave a trail or does my internet connection? Bottom line: what methods will insure my privacy when commenting on public discussion boards?

In a small town, someone will figure you out. In a big city, you can use an anonymiser service.
