Yeah I should have been more specific: less pseudononymous.

Eavesdroppers (local, ISP, or NSA) can link specific addresses to your IP address when you make a transaction.

One workaround is to use a hosted online wallet or submit pre-signed transactions to the network through a third party like https://blockchain.info/pushtx (assuming the connection is secure, including resistance to traffic analysis isn't possible)

Why pasting as code making it impossible to click on it?
