Last week, Congress sent a letter to Cafe Pharma asking about who those anonymous commenters were. Yesterday, the site’s Web master wrote a couple of posts on the site explaining that Cafe Pharma doesn’t collect information on anonymous commenters, and that none of the comments in question came from registered users.

“We will not have any user information to provide related to anonymous posts, since we have not recorded any such information,” she wrote in this post.

First of all, wouldn't a subpeona be necessary to get this? Secondly, even if they didn't "record" the information, wouldn't there be a record of the ISP that posted somewhere? (I'm not that well informed on tech issues like this).
