Blogging questions: How do people tell nics are the same human from venue to venue? Related, why would anyone use the same nic on more than one blog/group? Kind of attenuates the goal of anonymity.

Not if the nic, as dragonfire points out, gives no clue as to your real identity. And using the same nic on different sites allows you to build up a consistent online persona/reputation without revealing who you really are (same way authors have traditionally used pseudonyms)
