[From a remailer operators mailing list. The discussion arose in response to the attacks. --Declan] ******** From: Len Sassaman <rabbiat_private> Subject: status of randseed Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 08:40:37 -0700 (PDT) Randseed's been taken offline, as a precautionary measure. All mail currently destined for randseed will be bounced. We'll be back online at sometime in the future ******** From: "J.Francois" <frenchieat_private> Subject: Opinions on Operations due to bombings. Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 08:46:37 -0700 Organization: MagusNet, Inc. Design * Develop * Integrate I no longer run an anon remailer but I still operate a public proxy. By now everyone is aware of the bombings here in the USA. So, do we suspend anon communications channels during the crises or do we stay operational. Opinions? -- Jean Francois - JLF Sends... Once at a social gathering, Gladstone said to Disraeli, "I predict, Sir, that you will die either by hanging or of some vile disease". Disraeli replied, "That all depends, Sir, upon whether I embrace your principles or your mistress." ******** From: Len Sassaman <rabbiat_private> Subject: Re: Opinions on Operations due to bombings. To: <jlfat_private> Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2001 09:23:44 -0700 (PDT) I'm not concerned that the remailer network is, was, or will be used by the actual terrorists. What concerns me is the assholes who will inevitably send bogus threats, tips, and other noise to various news groups, federal offices, and officials. I don't want to get caught in the middle of this. I'm sorry. I'm currently unemployed and don't have the resources to defend myself. At this point in time, a free-speech argument will not gain much sympathy with the feds, judges, and general public. And investigators don't need more noise to sort through. They'll have enough as it is. I'd like to see remailers continue operating. But this needs to settle. I may put mine into middle, mix only mode if I feel up to it.. ******** ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
