Fair enough, as far as business | development goes. They'd have gotten rather stale after the first few. After all, we didn't include names, so the only thing you'd have seen changing was the date. As far as I know, there haven't been any in a while. Once we got our message and delivery down, the message seemed to spread that we were not adding any back doors, and hey, this is useful for undercover work and preventing crimes. TLAs have gotten no special delivery packages. I don't really see why they'd want them, except perhaps to shave their budgets. We said when we shipped 1.0 that we wouldn't stand up to a TLA attack. We (Ian, myself, and later Adam Back) have written a 15 page paper on how to attack our system. Which is far more than any other security or privacy provider I'm aware of.
