During your "rant" on re-mailers I mentioned the desirability of using popular P2P services in conjunction with remailers, possibly as middleman nodes. Len pointed out the problems with re-mailer system stability if P2P clients were used as they come and go. During the break there was a short discussion of using the P2P clients to generate cover traffic on remailers. This should be simple and involve no risk to those running the clients. steve
