I should think that the anonymous coward poses the most trouble for Rob in case of a lawsuit. If a names poster posts libelous comments, and a lawsuit ensues, resulting in a subpoena for the users information, at least Rob would have an email address to hand over. In the case of the Anonymous Coward, however, he would be unable to serve any information whatsoever, i suspect, and at that point, the lawyers may turn to /. for reconciliation.
