RE: AT&T bans anonymous messages
fortunately there's still such a ting as freedom of choice: use another ISP. There's no reason why ATT can't forbid anything they want on their service.
The problem is: what happens if there is no longer freedom of choice of ISP ... and: how is ATT going to KNOW WHO SENT WHAT anonymously ... aye, there's the insidious part of it ....

AT&T WorldNet service has banned the sending of anonymous email or
posting anonymously.
>From the "AT&T WorldNet Service Operating Policies":
