I am interested in doing something to support the remailer operators that put their necks on the line for us cypherpunks.

I have noticed people like Detweiler (dunno who he is) who are basically awed by the fact that a remailer crashes when you send your VM swap file through it, or people using it to do "nanny-nanny-boo-boo, you can't catch me, so pween off" messages, et al.

I would like to something in support of these people who are noble enough to keep things running even when EVERYONE it seems is out to get them.

If I knew any around here, they would get a free beer, and if the operator of Soda's remailer or Julf was in my area, they would get the whole keg ;).

I think the single most important thing we could do for remailer operators would be to figure out how to make the remailers *truly* *anonymous*. That is, we need a net.hack of some sort that allows remailers to send their messages in a way that leaves no trace whatsoever of the original poster *and* leaves no trace of the remailer itself. Net.veterans will perhaps recall a thread I started a while back along these lines... this is a technical problem, and I have the utmost confidence that the skills to solve this problem are around here somewhere. If I may make a humble suggestion, I would suggest that this problem is more immediate and pressing than many of the issues currently being debated. Philippe
