This is why God made offshore corporations, keyword "limited
liability".  It is not for nothing that they are called "Anonymous
Societies" in French.  Let 'em sue, so what -- they get a couple
of computers and a router.  Maybe the ACLU will pick up the case.
If not, well "AnonsRUS" is history, and next week a new corporation
picks up the ball.

Just what can logging accomplish on a properly encrypted remailer?
One link of a traffic analysis chain, right? Which came from
nowhere and vanishes into somewhere similar.

I thought remailer chains were robust against a small number
of corrupt links in the chain.
