The following is a list of current sponsors, and a list of past
   sponsors, for the TOR project.   I think it would be a good idea if we
   contact them, stating we are aware of their current (or past)
   sponsorship of the TOR project, and tell them we intend to provide some
   long-needed friendly 'competition' to the TOR project.   And say that
   we would appreciate having the same per-node donations that they
   donated to the TOR project.
   I am probably not the best one to make this pitch, since my
   'reputation' seems to be a bit 'tarnished'.    Okay, who here is the
   LEAST scandalous and outrageous?
