Editing Google docs anonymously

Options
Can't find anything on Google so hoping someone here can help.

I'm thinking of sharing a Google spreadsheet but can't find a way to do it anonymously. I've set it so that anyone can view it but whenever I open it to view or edit it shows my email in the corner. If anyone else opens it they just show up as 'Anonymous User' but I can't find any way to hide my address.

All I can think of doing is creating another account.

Anyone know of a way round this or are Google determined to make things awkward?

    Possibility of global Anonymous interaction:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    What do you wan to say? "Kill the President", "Meet on our favourite corner, these drugs cost £60", "10am, all followers press the RED button"?

    What have you been doing the last decade, a coma?

    I just like to choose who I share my personal details with - in this case my email address, which also contains my name.

    There's bound to be someone who will try & use the address to contact, which I don't want.

    The 'official replies' go to a different address so I can keep the separate.
    Much the same as on here. People can reply in a post or send a PM, but have no need for, or access to, my email address.

    think you would probably be better off 'anonymously' using Wiki as it seems more of a collaboration tool
