The question is will people pay money for this. Nobody gives a damn if you think it's useful or not.

Shure they do because one of the things I would love to do is run a commercial anon remailer. If I as a businessman motivated to get into it can't justify it how in the world can somebody with less technical experience justify it? How would you justify it to your bank for a $10k loan? I suspect that if I can find a way to overcome my anal retentive penny pinching then it will sell others as well.

The customer is always right, and all that.

You obviously have never done business with me. I've turned more than one customer away because they were either stupid or wanted something that was completely out of line. I provide my customers a specific set of services at specific fees with specific results, period. If they don't like the way their baby looks that is their problem, I just deliver 'em. I do this out of love, not a need to feed. <trivia: Bill G. once said that the computer industry was the only industry that ate its children>

Obviously, some people had a reason to take the time to write those thousands of posts, the question is will they pay the remailers to post them.

Depends on their motivation...a question we all seem to be grappling with. If it's possible I am shure that one of the thousands of posts that we generate on this issue will be the trigger. ____________________________________________________________________ | | | The financial policy of the welfare state requires that there | | be no way for the owners of wealth to protect themselves. | | | | -Alan Greenspan- | | | | _____ The Armadillo Group | | ,::////;::-.
