This remailer inserts keywords into the headers and tailers of all posts and remails. These headers contain phrases which would probably trigger automated net monitoring programs, rendering them less effective. This insertion is completely automatic and certainly does not constitute a statement of intent by anyone (especially the remailer operator) to do anything.
This is simply idiotic, worse than Hollander's childish admonition not to throw knives. All "keywords" do is light up those readers who do not know what they're about, something that Hollander should explain in the footer if he continues to do this. These keywords ought to be placed WITHIN the remailer disclaimer in order to make sure that readers know where they originated and by whom. Anyway, I won't be using the Soda remailer again. IN
