Ha Ha. Yes, not a proper fiend hey. But I take it that I would be anonymous 
technically.
If I were to do it for real I'd probably set up an internet connection in an 
assumed name complete with a fake bank account so there'd be no one for the 
cops to berate, just the computer [with no logs] to kick.
