Re: [DotGNU]Anonymous buying

[tali streit]

err... i think it is probably not a good idea to use these sorts of 
analogies from a PR point of view.

but if a celebrity wanted to buy flowers without the flower company (and 
therefore media) knowing who the celebrity was, i think that would be 
application dependent. as this involves an exchange of money there must 
be some point at which a 3rd party (bank) becomes involved. the security 
would have to rest with that third party (e.g. "swiss bank accounts").
