While I know that I could likely find the location of the computer that sent your message, it would involve asking for "silver bullet" favors from too many folks. A simple "Who Am I?" forum game simply isn't worth it. If you were threating me or mine with some kind of harm, and I thought you seriously had the intent, means and opportunity to carry-out such a threat, yes, I'd have two "suits" in a plain-wrapped Crown Vic sitting a few doors down from your residence.

...or worse, I'd ask "Vito-the-Leg-Breaker" or his buddies to pay you a "social visit".

...but playing guessing games on forum boards is a common pastime, as is shape-shifting to other names and personalities. Some take it to extremes [remember "Snarkbird"?] and others do it just to see if they can fool the board, although their writing/thinking "style" [or lack of it] is a dead give-away [Wh00lie, for instance]. Like all frauds, there are undoubtedly some shape-shifters who will never be caught... mostly due to a profound lack of interest in doing so by the other members. Some things simply don't matter.

Myself, I've never yet bothered with any of this on-line schizoid behavior, but who knows?.. someday I might try to see if I can pull it off... if I can figure a way to wean myself away from the "Curse of the Ellipses"...
