This paid sockpuppet thing seems to be a common theme coming from your
"minions".

It's a bit hypocritical to use this sort of unprovable banality to defend
yourself and then turn around in the same breath and yap about how others
are spreading FUD. 

But then... as do your "minions", so you do also. <shrug>

And by the way, any time you care to compare IQ's just let me know. ;)

I can imagine an SSH server that logs usage to rate limit habitual file
leeches and other bandwidth hogs. Or to help prevent abuse.

What's your point Adminus, that what we can imagine must be true? :)

Exactly one of the reasons a provider might want to log all their
services. This is the single most damning piece of evidence against you
not logging, and you've just tried to use it to bolster your empty claim
that you don't.

Your logic is utterly FUBAR.

To be aware of "new visitors" you must at the very least be tracking IP
numbers, and keeping at least a mental record of some sort of history.
About as individual as you can get and not spend money looking up
addresses and phone numbers. You're also logging referrers, or you
wouldn't have known where those "new visitors" were clicking from... Bruce
Schneier's Dog House blog.

You do log all of the following. All of it, and more.

Now... prove me wrong. Or prove you right. Either way. 

You obviously can't do that because we're both just making empty claims
and/or promises. Neither one is any more credible on its own than the
other. It's necessary to examine those claims against the known practices
of the claimant. 

Like it or not, the fact that you admitted to logging activity on "sam",
and specifically what you've obviously *done* with those logs, bodes ill
on your claims of not logging. Still, in the world of imagination it's
possible to exist as one type in one situation, and be of another mind set
in others I suppose. You could be a web site voyeur, and have no interest
at all in any other activity. 

I could be a big horse with a horn sticking out of my forehead too.

It's all academic anyway. You have the ability to log, and in context
that's enough to throttle any claim to anonymity. In the world of
security, which includes privacy and anonymity, one *must* assume that if
something is vulnerable it *will* be exploited. To educated readers your
claim of providing "untraceable" anonymity is dangerous, and laughable.
Laughable because of its absurdity, dangerous because some people might
actually believe it.

> 3. we do NOT log your traffic as in how many bytes you transferred 4. we

I may be mistaken, but I remember reading somewhere that you had ways of
dealing with spam and other abuse. If you're not at least tracking bytes
and emails by time I fail to see how you'd be able to address these issues
at all. Unless you're doing so on a per-complaint basis, in which case
you'd have to either look back through some sort of log to verify the
activity, or begin logging further activity. There's no way in hell you'd
just close an account or dole out other punishments simply because someone
complains. You'd have a user base of zero in no time.

You have nothing *but* your denial, and it's far from perfect. Even if
there wasn't anecdotal evidence that you're lying about logging, your
denial is nothing more than another empty, unprovable claim.

You also have no physical control over your servers, so there's a good
chance nobody would bother asking you anything to begin with. Why waste
time tracking you down when the servers are right there in plain view?
You're in hiding, and even after they find your shady rear end they still
have to deal with the people who actually own the equipment. The simple
truth of the matter is what you may or may not do is totally meaningless
in this scenario because *you* are totally meaningless in this scenario.
To the law you're an insignificant non-problem. Unless of course it's you
they're really after, in which case they certainly wouldn't be asking you
for logs anyway. :)

Yep, only these will work.

Then Frog-Admin announces his remailer over 10 times to avoid his history of 
failure catching up with a Pangborn. No fear of death, fear of death, fear of 
trolls. Who do you think the talking heads write the drivel they read off the

Eelbash must stay. And 90% of them as a normal exit-remailer, then I'll happily 
put it back on my stats. Thanks very much for the big shot trolls that want to 
hear any complaints that so and so are the POOR POOR INNOCENT LITTLE VICTIM.

Any advertisement of this, or any other "services" run by an incompetent moron who 
has had a legitimate reason to close down for a given resource. Anyhow, I now see 
how many THOUSANDS were on it all and why it would take you about 2 minutes to set 
it up to five (or ten?) sources and average all the stats from several sources for 
JBN or QS?

A blatant, bald-faced LIE. So his remailer gone and so said this. Get into a 
flamewar, and it should generate buzz.

I called again several hours ago about it and let everybody know, and SB slinked

When you send an email adderss: someemail@somewhere.com, fine. But if somebody's 
name is being DOS'd to death, it's doubtless thanks to anti-freespeech left-wing 
liberal nutjobs who HATE free speech that doesn't agree with their irresponsible, 
far-left radical liberal anarchistic party line. They hate honesty; and therefore, 
they hate honest free speech.

They say what they're paid to say by the balance of my own humble articles and 
replies are permanently archived on the fly through this interface once it's 
configured ('ControlPort' setting in torrc). At the very least, you could 
implement it differently so it won't tell us what to do? I am out and will ignore 
it.
