i beleive that the anon.penet.fi people will give up reverse mappings if
specifically asked, and when a law has been broken. (i'm not sure, never
used the service itself.)

i interpreted from various posts that the teale tales list used to be
administered through there, but is no longer.  was it stopped at julf's
request?

if you start threatening people's lives, you should probably do some serious
thinking about something other than encryption.
