Is penet.fi really secure? I heard (rumors) it had been compromised.
Also, in my experience, it often took days for things to get where
they were going. I reccommend the anon remailers and chaining
as documented on the cypherpunks page (as elsewhere).
As far as the original post goes, it does make it difficult to reply
to. The person said he did not get the libertarians list, and you
can't send to the anon address so what are you supposed to do? I
just guessed he (or she) had no idea that root was being used. No one
here cares whether you send anon or not. In fact, we tend to tell
everyone we can to find out how to do it at some point. (There's links
to all of this in the web page below, BTW.)
