I disagree. This is just a poorly conceived attempt to do what some here
have argued needed to be done. Commercial remailers.
Yes, it gives them too much power. Anonymiser certainly doesn't ask for a
credit card to get immediate response.
Go ahead and make your comment site. I may join you. Fortunately, right
now if you do a Yahoo search on remailers, you will get a reference to
CYPHERPUNKS style and pseudo-anonymous.
Good, free, visible, emailers are still the norm.
I personally doubt that they are a front for any government agency. At
least that they know about.
