Well, that may  be  correct.   The  only  anon-mailer  I knew of was
anon.penet due  to  discussions  in  Sweden.   I  do  not  use  such
services.  People should stand for what  they say & think: Thats the
good thing with democracy: The right to say and  the  obligation  to
stand for one says.

Well,  I  am not a hacker (just a fishery biologist :-).  However, I
may  refer  to  NSA   comments  and  several  interviews  concerning
Zimmermans PGP algorithm.  This material may be found  somewhere  in
the net:
 
A.   It  seems  that  anyone  "civilian"  encryption  algorithm is a
2-hours walk to a military scramble  specialist.   That's  what  NSA
Seniors  say,  at  least.  Perhaps Mr.  "Lefty" could add any wisdom
over the issue :-).
 
B.   The  US  has strict regulations concerning civilian encryption:
FBI has access to all encryption  technology, by the law.  Thus, all
encryption software (hardwares microcode) allowed in the  market  is
-luckyly- an easy game to the FBI and other .GOV related agencies.
 
"BigBro" is perhaps watching you ? :-)
