wonders to what end remailers are being put by people who are worried about being "sold out".
The fundamental principle here is that an e-mail message is just so many bits of 1's and 0's. It can never, in it's own capacity, steal, molest or kill. It is therefore not unethical to run a no-log 'fortress remailer' and auto-delete ALL complaints, without exception. It might not be feasible to do so if one wants to stay out of jail, but hope- fully this will change with the rapid increase in country domains and the soon-to-come digicash market. Discussions of programming to make fortress remailers work and to make them easily exportable to African Linux-boxes are interesting. So are discussions of expected repercussions on society. Ethical discussions of what is abuse or not are better left to the clergy. Mats
