C'punks, it seems to me that the anonymous pool idea is underutilized by the remailers. I suggest that a remailer variation be developed that posts to an anonymous pool (some appropriate obscure newsgroup)

No, I think that julf's remailer is the only *anonymous* posting facility (heck there might be more *now*.) But there are several (last I checked) non-anonymous mail->news gateways on the net, and if used from a remailer, the only address the mail->news gateway would have is the remailer's. Of course, the remailers could be rewritten to allow posting capability also. (probably not a good idea, as I doubt many of the remailer admins would want to suffer throught the controversy that Julf has had to) but it's up to them.
