Hi Dana,
Now we're getting somewhere useful!

Your answer is the kind of meat that gets us somewhere (as opposed to
instantly and publically stating anyone who closes their front door, lowers
their window shades at night, and at any time flushes the toilet is a
despicable drug runner trying to hide their nasty drug habit).

WHAT else in my header gives away my privacy other than:
IP address (changed daily), email address (spoofed), posting name (spoofed)

Here are my header lines (which of these give away details about me)?
Path:
Newsgroups:
User-Agent:
MIME-Version:
Content-Type:
Content-Transfer-Encoding:
References:
Message-ID:
Lines: 28
NNTP-Posting-Host:
X-Complaints-To:
X-Trace:
NNTP-Posting-Date:
Organization:
X-UserInfo1:
Xref:

I presume the most important header line is the "X-UserInfo1" line.
It seems to uniquely identify me.

Are you saying that, since the "X-UserInfo1" line uniquely identifies me,
all other attempts at securing a modicum of privacy are for naught?
