In many cases those people may want a reliable and verifiable
identity. They just don't necessarily want it traceable to a
physical person. This could be analogous to a self-signed
certificate vs. one from a bonded provider.
Web mail services such as Hotmail provide a consistent (pseudonymous
if desired) identity that's not bound to anything else.
However, the source IP is still on there. I think this anonymity talk
is a bit of a distraction to the fundamental discussion.
