No offense meant, of course. To make sure I don't miss stuff like that is why I subscribe to your list anyway, even though I'm also subscribed to most of your sources. It is also why I was glad you caught something he said that confirmed, precisely, why he's still in my killfile. :-). I don't need to raise my blood pressure more than necessary. [Ob Cypherpunks: Seriously, folks. How clueful can someone be who clearly doesn't know how to use more than one remailer hop, as proven by the fact that he's always coming out of the *same* remailer all the time? Even more important, nobody *else* uses that remailer, which is why killfiling the idiot works so well to begin with...] Anyway, on this list in particular, I've found that what any number of smart people say about what the idiot du jour says is much more interesting than what the actual idiot says himself, which is why he can safely reside in a killfile. (Having said more than my share of stupid things here myself in 8 years here, and being no stranger to the odd killfile myself :-), I'm sure lots of peoples' irony meters are pegged, but, by definition, those folks can go fuck themselves, I figure. :-).)

The fact that he uses a constant exit remailer does not show that he is using a single hop. I always come out of the same remailer at the end, even though I always use about three randomly selected remailers between myself and the constant exit remailer. I always select the same end remailer to avoid confusing the audience, and I selected a less used exit remailer for the same reason. --digsig James A.
