Sandy, I so appreciate your attempts to span the gap, here, but I feel like I am watching you hurt yourself. Repeatedly. To no end. ~Aimee

Therefore remailer operators and the rest of us can in perfect comfort fail to keep logs, we can circulate thought crimes into irrecoverable systems, and so on and so forth.
Apparently, James did not understand the thrust of Aimee's post at all. The important thing to understand about legal precedents is that they may show a TREND in the law. The common law evolves over time. To say that no precedent DIRECTLY ON POINT exists means that you can operate "in perfect comfort" is asinine. The question is, what will a court say NEXT?
