How do I post anonymously?

When communicating with others over the Internet, it is frequently preferred to not use any sort of identifiable handle (such as a "user name" or other arbitrary way of identifying who is speaking). The most popular worldwide example of this is within the Japanese forum 2channel. A common joke is that the poster 'Anonymous' is actually one person, which is obviously impossible given the number of posts attributed to that name. The forum prides itself on the total anonymity of those who post to the channel. The administrators of 2channel see the anonymous posting as a real benefit to those who post to the forum, because it is the argument, not the credibility of the author, that is being debated. This is in stark contrast to other Internet forums, such as Slashdot. In Slashdot-style forums, the ability to post anonymously is available, but other users of the forum tend to hold the content of the post in a lower regard than they would if the same post was sent by a user with a registered username. The Slashdot forum encourages this tendency by attributing posts like this to "Anonymous Coward," implying that the poster lacks the courage to stand by his or her statement.
