Am I the only one to notice that traffic has dropped from about 100 messages/day to only a few? Does anyone know what is broken? Does anyone care? Is the whole c-p list a giant MITM being run against a very few of us who are the only human participants? Oh dear! I just realized that c-p _could_ be subject to an interesting MITM attack: By subtlely modifiying the text of c-p messages arriving at certain key recipients, the bad guys could then correlate the quoted text in resulting anonymous replies to the list with individuals, and could probably also shave a layer or two off the remailer chains through which those messages were sent. The determination of individual's usage patterns of remailers would also benefit from this, and the info would go into a growing database which could then be used at some point down the road to nail key people and remove them as irritants and agitators. Isn't it odd that many key contributors to the list coincidentally live near nondescript neighborhood houses that bristle with antennae and are regularly visited by black helicopters and large unmarked vans? No, I didn't think so either. That's probably an unrelated operation. TrafficMongerII
