"Tripper" then claimed you can't post binaries via remailers, when it was pointed out the original Spammer did post a binary "tripper" then tried to explain that only small binaries can be posted. When I pointed out that commercial remailers let people post large binaries he refused to acknowledge their existence. Now you want to say it's not 100% fool-proof. The money trail is all that exists, with no logs it is still extremely difficult to prove that a particular post came from a particular computer. The truth is I don't care. When people Spam me (either via email or Usenet), I will try to stop it. For remailers helping the Spammers or the Spammers direct I will try to stop their services (report to ISP, their domain registrar, law enforcement, what ever I can think of). Hopefully everyone here will do their best to stop Spammers and the remailers that hide them. It is my hope that ISP's will get together and setup filters to block both Spammers and remailers via IP addresses, this will greatly improve the internet for everyone. Randy
