No, I think it is you that does not understand:

> "The actual group of Anonymous [...]"

There is no such thing. Not in any traditional sense. Talking about "Anonymous, the group" is like talking about "Kilroy, the GI."

I wonder how many people here are even going to get that reference...

Apparently "Kilroy" is specifically an American thing, but I don't think it is too obscure. For the curious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilroy_was_here

I thought it was a good comparison because of the "graffiti/website defacement" angle.

If not "Kilroy" then how about "Emmanuel Goldstein?"
