@Frank Apisa,
Usually I agree with a lot of what you say, but sometimes, you go too far and it's like you can't stop. I don't put my legal name or even hint exactly where I live on this forum, except to a few people on private message. If that makes me a coward or not brave, it really doesn't matter to me.
On the other hand, you are correct, Snowden once he was in a place beyond the reach of the US, said who he was and where he was at. BillM has not said who is he or where he lives. (I personally think it would have killed him to remain unknown but still have leaked that information. My own opinion.) Those are true simple statements. (not the opinion)
