Modulo the recent discussion of how some remailers treat traffic from other known remailers differently than mail from unknown addresses, remailers don't need to know about each other.

If they don't know know about each other, and there is nothing on the machines which suggest they no about each other, it's difficult for a law abiding remailer operator to become inadvertantly linked to a non-lawabiding one.

Did you even read the message which explained WHY remailers need to know about each other, and why they need to treat traffic from remailers different from that from unknown addresses? Your message shows no sign of it. Rather than issuing your blanket statement that remailers don't need to know about each other, you need to explain how to deal with the issues which presently require the contrary.
