Absolutely ... in the "Internet Age", once you hit the send button it
will be available to those with the resources in perpetuity, or as long
as that is.

Yes, but again, my name is not attached, therefore I can't bring harm to
the company directly, or indirectly, as it was an anonymous post. Or
almost. Any perceived breach is just that percieved and not real.

Several people have told you that your name does not have to be
attached. Have you ever looked at the expanded header of your email.
There is a wealth of information that one could use to track you to the
very computer you used to post the message.

This is the software you are using with your last post:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/17.0 Thunderbird/17.0

Yep, I understand, but in checking all my posts, nothing ties it to me
directly.
They would have to talk to my isp to tie it totally to me.
I have reviewed the complete header.
So I am confident that any attempt would have to go through my isp.

I also want to straighten this out. I can not use my name to make any
statement, since my name can easily be tied to them, they are paranoid
that they may lose customers or be thought negatively because of me.

That being said, if they want to try to find me by going to extreme
lengths, then it's certainly not for me. And in that case, I would
probably hit them where it hurts.
