the remailer of my dreams would offer ironclad guarantees of anonymity. call me a cynic, but asking me to place my trust in the hands of ... well, just about anybody! leaves me cold. i recognize that social issues will surely arise, but society has managed to deal with anonymity in other contexts. for example, i can send postal mail with high confidence of anonymity, and can make anonymous phone calls (with care, e.g., by using phone booths and moving around). something tells me that the difference here is that we are getting remailer services for free. how's the cypherpunks bank coming along? i have an application in mind ... a final comment:
Remember, if people were honest, we wouldn't need encryption, either.
forgive me if i'm coming on too strong, but that is total bullshit. privacy and honesty are orthogonal. peter
