Sadly, the people that peddle this sort of sh!t, don't care about anonymity. In fact, they are probably wanting to revel in the 'glory' - and, currently, there's no penalty for doing it anyway. We just have to hope that the people pulling down 5G masts, get hit by them!

has always, and will always be a core defect of the internet culture. 
Sadly, I don't think it will be resolved anytime soon, at least in my lifetime.

If requiring your real identity was a barrier to posting stupidity, fArseBook would be a paragon of truth and civility.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Depends on the language you are using: for C# it's trivial:
Cursor = new System.Windows.Forms.Cursor(System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Current.Handle);
Point pos = System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position;
System.Windows.Forms.Cursor.Position = new Point(pos.X - 50, pos.Y - 50);

Many, many kudos to those who publish articles. Foolishly thinking that you could teach an old dog new tricks, I decided to try my hand at an article. I dutifully read MC's excellent how to and then OG's tips on using the wizard. Next decision was deciding to use the wizard. My HTML skills are equal to those of a house plant. So, yesterday, my effort commenced. Managed to create the basics and prepare to enter some code. I was pleased to be able to pick up where I left off this morning. I even remembered my password (pa$$w0rd). I entered the code, copying it back into a new project to make sure that it really worked. Us oldies are careful that way. About an hour or so into the venture, my Internet connection decided to take a coffee break. When I got back on line, all my changes were in the bit bucket. So much for wizards. When is the last time you saw a wizard wizz?
Again, kudos to all you authors. I will respectfully remain a freeloading reader. 
If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

Press that save button! (It's at the bottom of the wizard page).
But ... it auto saves draft copies every couple of minutes, I believe - so it should be possible to retrieve at least most of your changes before the internet failed.

@Chris-Maunder
Can you check and see if he has archived drafts, please?

Hey, thanks for the reply. Not to worry, I doubt that there is much interest about viewing Pi sensor data with Blazor. Who would have thought you could run Microsoft Dotnet stuff on a Pi?
It was an interesting exercise anyway. Doesn't take much to amuse old folks.
