I don't really know a whole lot about Anonymous though; I had a
  hard time taking any of it seriously., sorta like BitCoin. Or
  even "The Cloud". Things come and go, trends, whatever. Old
  things get new names, new promises, later broken, etc.
  I guess not knowing much about who they are / what they do /
  etc, outside of a few youtube videos and some friends that
  associate with them, to me, it's a kind of fandom, like furries
  but more political and a bit more L337 speak and stuff. Reminds
  me a little of the Hax type fun I had in the early 90s on BBS',
  although a few of them went on to do interesting things.
