But you aren't invisible and local because the server logs still note who connected to the site and received updates, right? So, it's just a matter of google or Yahoo or any other aggregator being easier to subpoena, not that the local machines are untraceable.
If they respond then they give both visibility and credibility to the developers, and not everyone understands the nuts and bolts of how the development is done. Ignorring this ensures that only some people, those who pay attention to development and the community, know about the split, while discussing it on their site will ensure that decision-makers also are aware of the problem. So, it's unlikely that they will visibly respond on their site, at least not until they notice they are losing their audience. (Which may happen, this community is fairly vocal.)
It's not like the color laser in my office can manage to print correctly anyway, so I'm not concerned at all that it can manage to print microscopic dots in the right places with the right colors and be used to trace back writings of any sort. And of course it wouldn't have a hope in the world of counterfeiting with the color screwups it has now. Not to mention it's on its fourth service call in recent weeks for not being able to print correct colors anyway. Still, it would be interesting to know if it's ever been used in a criminal case (or a civil lawsuit) and I've never seen anything suggesting that it has been.
