With the additional nym servers coming on the scene comes the question of whether or not to "claim" our alpha.c2 nym on the other ones, too. E.g., if we are foobar@alpha.c2.org, should we also become foobar@nym.gondolin.org and foobar@nym.alias.net, too? That would let us have a very stable nym, and prevent confusion over who's "who" if someone else were to have the same id with another nym server. But, it makes it harder to keep our real ID secret. (E.g., an oversimplified scenario would be if an attacker sends a message to all three nyms, then watches three PGP conventionally encrypted messages arrive in our mailbox.) A "safer" way would be to have the other two nyms have a fake address, but then we couldn't receive mail with it. A trickier way would be to have the reply block point to alt.anonymous, but then we'd have to constantly be watching for a message "to" us. Another angle, though, is that the nym servers may be unstable, and multiple nyms would allow us to post, if out "favorite" is down. Anyways, I'm a beginner, and think that the most useful use of remailers is to ask dumb questions. :-)
