This thread illustrates (at least if setup's like this are worthy of a place in Raph's list) that penet.fi is the safest way to go for the moment. I would just hate it to have my head on the plate of a remailer operator who takes an interest in subtile ethical discussion of whether to sell me out or not.

This comment is grossly unfair. Obviously Homer is going to a lot of effort to operate his remailer in the best way possible. It's easy for others to be critical. "head on a plate" is a strong term to use, given Homer made it clear he would not reveal the identity of an anonymous user without a court order. Also, one wonders to what end remailers are being put by people who are worried about being "sold out". It's always been a good policy to use a foreign mailer in a chain where anonymity is critically important. That doesn't mean it's OK to make Homer the whipping boy.
