Today's L.A. Times had an article, on the front page of the Business section, on the hazards and benefits of anonymous e-mail. It opened with a narrative concerning a fictional ("composite") company whose internal cover-up of project failures was blown by anonymous mail. There are some quotes saying that it bypasses hierarchical stupidity, and some saying that it's for gutless harassers. The article mentions the situation on the Internet, including the basics of remailer mechanics (no addresses, though). Pretty good article, with less than the usual amount of confusion. Is the author on the list? Eli ebrandt@hmc.edu
