 When you configure your "account" in your news reading software, the 
 information that you enter for your name, email address, etc. is 
 completely up to you. 
  
 Of course, if you enter a phoney email address, nobody will ever be 
 able to reply to one of your posts, but that's probably not an issue 
 for most people. 
  
 Also, when you choose a bogus address, make absolutely certain that 
 it's not actually a real address that just happens to belong to 
 someone else.
