An astonishing bit of Internet provincial fuckheadedness, I must say! When one considers that there are _many_ other nets that gate into Internet these days and innumerable store-and-forward host systems whose message handling processes are _completely_ beyond the control of the end user (even smug Cypherpunk geniuses), this attitude mystifies me. Uu> I recommend that you always use the wimsey (extropia) remailer as the Uu> first (or only) leg of a remailer chain. It is also the only Uu> Cypherpunks remailer outside the USA (it's in Canada) which will make Uu> tracing msgs a little more difficult for USA authorities. That remail@extropia.wimsey.com is in Canada specifically makes communications with it fair game for NSA interception, however.
