	For the record, I didn't say they were (though more than a few

	I'm just saying that any 'high profile' 'hidden' service
	becomes unhidden sooner or later...or the owners close it
	before it's too late

	what's really crazy is that the tor mafia both runs a marketing
	scam like http://torproject.org/  

	"Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network
	surveillance and traffic analysis." 

	while publishing 'academic' 'papers' explaining what kind of
	shit tor really is.
