Here is the message I sent to both the complainant and the complainee. Homer Dear ..... , I have been contacted by someone complaining about a posting you made through my remailer. They want me to tell them who you are, which ain't going to happen, but at the same time I don't like getting complaints, you understand? Of course I can not tell you who complained any more than I can tell them who you are. But you know where you have been posting using my remailer, right? Now I have no idea if what you posted was really abusive or not, I did not see the posting or postings, and I know a lot of people complain about 'abuse' when really its just their closed minds being opened up. I was able to 'trace' you because you sent something through my remailer without using chaining. If you had chained I would never know who the posting came from. I was told who it went too and the time, and its right there in my system's syslogs coming from you. If you chain and use PGP, then I could not have traced you. So read the instructions on chaining and make sure you USE it. You will be a lot safer in the future from complaint attempts than if you don't use chaining. If you have questions on how to chain, ask on alt.privacy.anon-server or read the various helps at many of the remailers. I have reposted this letter to alt.privacy.anon-server without your name and sent a copy to the complainant. I expect not to hear anything more about you, ok?
