Ooops. Sorry. Must have been just before I joined the list. Always putting my foot in the wrong place...
In a note I wrote back then, which did not name the particular site involved, I reported that after sending a piece of "anonymous" mail, I got a letter of "support" for my position from the remailer operator!
Urgh!
After I mentioned this to the Cypherpunks list, it came out that other sites were also keeping various forms of archives (for some or all of the reasons listed above).
Double urgh!
Anyway, such human-operated remailers, running on UNIX boxes in unsecure conditions, have many nonideal characteristics.
Agree. Julf
