My point was that if some of the autonag messages go astray, or are
deliberately misled, who cares?
I suspect that LD would love to play around with this feature. Spoof
a letter from someone and you can make the cypherpunks send that
person some hate mail. Basically, I just think it's a mistake. I
think that annotating a message as it passes through cypherpunks --
such as cypherpunks at hks.net does -- is a fine idea. However, I think
that adding new ways for attackers to make privacy advocates look bad
isn't a great idea.
The proposed system is for everyone, not just pseudonyms. If I
meant pseudonyms, I would have said pseudonyms, not nyms.
I understood that and followed the same convention. I'm not worried
about pseudonyms -- they land in the bit bucket somewhere. I'm more
concerned about spoofed real addresses.
