many many boards, have many people surfing through proxies and posting tons of shit. who is accountable if you can't find them? the board itself?
AOL and other ISP type companies have not been held responsible for content posted by their users, regardless of what other laws say about the legality of the user's actions. There is no reason to believe that this law would be any different.

Death threats are illegal. If a user posts a death threat on GFY, anonymously or not, Lensman cannot be arrested for that crime.
