I have another theory: If an anXXX@anon.penet.fi address subscribes
to the mailing list, then everybody who sends mail to the list will be
given an anon alias. (Now to wait and see whether I get allocated an
anon id from anon.penet.fi in response to this message.)
I still say that double-blinding should not be the default action of
servers like that at anon.penet.fi. Double blinding is sometimes
useful, but one should have to request it explicitly.
