By replying you eliminated his ability to delete the post and thus maybe the point of the effort.

Can't he still replace it with [deleted] or something? (If so, and if it is helpful, I will happily amend what I wrote to leak less information about what happened.) Anyway: of course it was not my intention to deanonymize anyone, and I regret it if I have.

I think that's only happens when he would delete his own account.

I don't think that's the case but if he wants to create a annonymous account he likely should start over with a new one.

I meant replacing the content with "[deleted]", not the account name.

I think from the context of your post the meaning would still have been clear. Apart from that I don't think he can do it after he retracked the post. (the strikethrough)

Nope, I can still edit it.
