I think a large stink should be made at this point, to bring our legitimate privacy concerns to the attention of net admins, and to flush out who it was who threatened pax's net connection. I'm really uncomfortable with the way that the pax anon remailer was shut down on what seems to be pure hearsay. I think we need a little more guts from our anon administrators. Stick to your guns! Make them at least deliver an ultimatum to you so you know where the threat came from. A note on whether we cypherpunks should "lie low" -- it's always possible for us to go underground and hide from the authorities. I don't believe we should do this until it's absolutely necessary. As of now, we are legitimate net citizens. M.
