I've been listening to this list quietly for about 2 weeks. Althought the signal to noize ration as been a bit low lately, ;^) it's been very interesting. I like the idea of alt.whistle.blowers, and support anything that promotes privacy, and Constitutional rights. But I have a (newbie?) question.

That is, given the proper motivation, couldn't "and entity" sniff out all of this information and find out which machine a particular message came from. And from logs at that machine, which The Entity naturally has access to, It could find out who send the message. Just wondering..... Major suggestion: We need a FAQ! Well, that's about it.
