I don't understand why the anonymous don't sign their messages.  I'm not talking about a named signature, but about a few GnuPG signatures with no real name.

So at least we could make sure that each new message has be written buy the same people who wrote the previous ones.

So, to clarify, you're angry that anonymous is far too anonymous?

I'm not "angry".   I just think this movement is silly, since anyone could pretend to be part of it.
The thing about Anonymous is that it's a lot like Bitcoin; it's decentralised. There are no leaders and there's no "initiation" to become a member, so to speak. Anyone can claim to be a member and anyone can declare war in Anonymous' name. The success of each of their little vendettas depends on how many other "Anons" want to help them.

There is no doubt in my mind that this threat has come from some 15 year old kid who just found out about Bitcoin and thinks he's going to be rich.
