Yahoos boards, if the poster has any desire to not be EASYILY traceable. But......

This guy will likely close out that account. This I think is done to provide Yahoo the company with ways around libel cases. But all that is untested court stuff

Only way I know he can be traced, and I am no superduper expert, it to go to the Yahoo server, which has a record of when the message came in and who sent it. If it came from an ISP like AOL, they can then trace which logged on user, sent the orginal, since the ISP needs a credit card they will have the real name. The ISP would have the full information, if Yahoo is willing to identify the detail that exist on there servers. If it came from a company they would have a record of which TCPIP address sent it.

So a Yahoo poster is definately traceable.
But it take the coroperation of both Yahoo and the posters ISP

If it came from the local library, there is no way to know who sent it
