address). This means that you will have to trust the person running the remailer.

One point is being missed here - a chain of remailers is as strong as its STRONGEST link. As long as even ONE remailer in the chain is trustworthy, hiding the connection between incoming and outgoing messages, your anonymity is preserved. The suggestion that remailers themselves choose the routing path means that you have to trust the remailer that chooses the path. If it is corrupt, it can defeat the effect of the path. To protect yourself, you want to use many remailers in the chain, and use a system which does not require you to trust any one remailer. Having the remailers choose the path does not really help.
