How would you have us promote Tor?
The “Tor users” page isn't presented as a promotional page, it is
presented as a factual one. I also remember discussion on this list
where I expressed doubt about some aspects listed there (military
uses), and the overall claim was that the page is a good
representation of the current userbase.
You did not answer Andrew's question, rather you went off into a
tangent. How would you promote Tor?
Please explain, in detail, how you use Tor and why you use tor to get
us started.
So why not answer those questions honestly, and not pretend that
users
are stupid? As I said, it detracts from the project's credibility.
Anyone who installs Tor (or I2P, for that matter) and explores the
hidden services, immediately sees the overwhelmingly illegal (mostly,
since it depends on jurisdiction) content. Anyone who runs an exit
node immediately sees that a sizable portion of the traffic is of
questionable nature. [1]
This is not true. http://freehaven.net/anonbib/#mccoy-pet2008 is one
study which refutes your assertion.
And here is another,

And here is another, with attempted content classification,

And more data,

Do your own research. Run an exit and publish the tcpdump results.
