More remailers (maybe one that 'spoofs' real identities to hide the fact the it is a remailer?) with transparent PGP (download the whole keyring to the
Great idea, at least on the face of it. Those in charge have a history of assuming that if you want privacy and low profile then you must have something to hide. If I use remailers to obtain privacy / low profile, why would I want to use a remailer that advertises itself as such? Rather, I'd prefer a nice little quiet one so my messages would blend in with all the rest of the usenet junk. I hate the five lines of disclaimers. I'd pay for my remailing if I could (and will when the feature becomes available), but I'd take my business to the discreet firm of _Chaemeleon Remailers S.A._ - not to all the _Remailers 'R' Us_ that advertise their business in neon on top of my messages.

Why not go to one of the commercial providers or Freenets and ask for an account under a pseudonym? I don't get the impression that Netcom cares what your account name is, and I imagine the other providers are too busy to play identity police. If they're feeling picky and you're feeling accomodating, tell them you want to pay for an account for a roommate/spouse/partner/adopted child who doesn't have a checkbook/VISA card. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBLs7GjX3YhjZY3fMNAQHSzwP+LCTo8TrztmRL0m+wtn0AWugS5wsFJqKn VRDqfpiXdJHhIS+MlzuQSZ3wcC0krOW1IPYGShmb5QNU1rD1Y5in5cS0OJsvJl1+ Oc4fxEz1gsKDE6yU9m/ce8uWGcW3GbrXdlIC7LKx8AOaXsfjx2338kpfJ9vYpmWF /+XSeq6K4fs= =plJv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Or, you can run your OWN remailer. That way you can tailor it to look anyway you want. John A.
