I don't normaly respond to trolls, but, you've really set my teeth on edge...
The things that are of beauty on the Internet are brought by people involved. I've observed many of those things, and noticed that not a single one of the creators of those beauty are shy about contact information.
What Andrew is suggesting would hardly "keep the intellectuals and wealthy in control over something they have no right to." You must be new to this whole Internet thing: It is intellectuals and wealthy people that invented, built, and maintain the Internet. Not only do they have every right to it, they decide to grant you access to some, not all, of the Internet.
Andrew's desire of one thing, accountability, is not something that one should not have to be asked for in this day and age. It should be given freely. Living the life of a 'Blank' in a dictatorship, etc. is a whole other thing.
Your packaged rebelion is as tired and sad as it has always been. You want the ability to yell "fuck" at the top of your lungs (electronically speaking), and skulk away unchallanged.

Well, fuck, I guess that's all there is to it.
