If you split the message into shadows, you avoid having anyone in this position.
I think splitting the message would be OK, but then the question is who is responsible for reassembling it? If there were a "reassembly server" which took such messages, assembled them, and forwarded them, then we would be right back where we started from. If the end user is responsible for reassembly, then that is tantamount to voluntarily agreeing to receive anonymous messages, and that is no problem. The complaints we get are virtually 100% from people who didn't want to receive such messages, or see them posted. And of course anonymous news postings via shadows would also have the reassembly problem. Hal
