A while back, someone was mentioning security through obscurity as a
usable method. Here is a good example of why obscurity should probably
be used, even if it can't be trusted by itself:
> > Any assistance is welcome. I am using a university account
> > so that our company remain anonomyous!!
>
> Then you shouldn't post to USENET with both cudenver.edu and

> used to having to track down anonymous people. ;)
Given that this is the Internet, no one would have questioned his
university account and given him the answers anyway, but since he said
he was hiding, people were wondering why and picked up on the details.
