For those who haven't been following the controversy on UseNet, Jerry Terranson of
Missouri
Freenet is capturing all posts containing the X-No-Archive: Yes header and putting
them on his
website in a searchable database.

I don't recall anyone making that argument against Deja and they don't
capture full headers. I don't recall anyone making it against RemarQ.
Could it be because those services are run by professionals as opposed
to seething maniacs?
If this loon was working alone, I wouldn't be so worried. Like all
loons, he'd eventually burn out and probably be alternatively ridiculed
and ignored to the point of ineffectiveness long before then. But he's
boasting that a T-1 has been donated to him on behalf of the
"X-No-Archive Library Project".
We all know that anonymous remailer operators and proxy services are
often struggling for their lives. Scraping together nickels and dimes
to keep bringing a secure means of anonymous communication to the
masses. These are the real unsung heroes of privacy rights.
Have any of them ever been the recipient of a free T-1? Why not?
Who's bankrolling this kook? And why?
