How safe is the Student doctor network? 99% of whats on here will not bother anybody, but when we discuss bad groups and bad AMCs is this a safe forum? Please see the article below from AVweb about a Google hosted forum where Google has decided to roll over and not fight for the rights of its users by giving up their identity when threatened by a lawsuit. The Anesthesia forum recently has had a provocative thread about Sheridan. Is Sheridan Healthcare really Satan? If Sheridan complains and sues, will the Student doctor network supply IP addresses of the commenters or fight for our 1st amendment right to free speech. Many blogs destroy the IP information every 30 to 60 days thus given how slow our legal system is you might have little to worry about if that was the policy at the SDN.
Other that buying a new laptop every 30days and cruising around town surfing via other peoples WIFI connection, anyone have some practical advice about surfing anonymously.

Eclipse Seeks To Reveal Critics' Names
A subpoena issued by a California court last week in response to a request by Eclipse Aviation seeks to obtain the names of about 28 people who have posted anonymous comments on the Eclipse Aviation Critic NG blog. The blog, hosted by Shane Price of Dublin, Ireland, is the "next generation" of the original Eclipse critic blog, which was started by Stan Blankenship in 2006 but stopped publishing earlier this year. The subpoena commands Google, which hosts the NG blog, to supply IP addresses of the commenters. "We're not trying to suppress dissension or criticism," Eclipse CEO Vern Raburn told the Albuquerque Journal. "We're just trying to find out where it's coming from." Raburn said he wants to know if any of the posters are Eclipse employees or others who are legally bound by non-disclosure agreements. In a letter posted on the NG blog, Google says it will release the identifying information to Eclipse unless the posters object in court; several of the blog contributors have said on the blog site they will pursue such an action. Price wrote online that several of the blog aliases listed in the subpoena had never posted on his blog. "It seems to be very out of date," he wrote, "and I'm actually feeling left out, as they didn't include me."
The subpoena allows the bloggers until May 9 to respond.
