C'punks -- When I told a friend about the alt.drugs.pot cultivation newsgroup and suggested that he use an anonymous remailer to post to the group, he laughed and said, "Who do you suppose runs the remailers?

There is no such thing as a trusted remailer, unless you know and trust the remailer operator. That's why one should use remailer chains. If only one remailer in the chain is run by a non-TLA operator, you are safe. Just for the record, I know numerous remailer operators. I am convinced that neither of them works for any TLA in any way.
