<sigh> Stray Cat, Ziggy, Champerty, and all the others out
there who don't seem to be able to recognize a troll; there
are those who are doing their utmost to keep all of this
going, and you are playing straight man to their jokes.
This troll is merely an asshole. He is however, successful
in making complete fools of you.
Hardly a troll:

key 016AA63D is in fact the key of the eelbash remailer it self.
I don't beleave eelbash has been compromised so there is only one
possibility left.

I wonder if there was a reason RProcess didn't allow those options by
default. I think it is more the responsibility of the remailer lists to
report 'mon' if they want to. 'Operator is /known/ to monitor messages'
I remember from the old stats lists. You don't have to trust the
individual remailer operators to admit this (or even worse, block them
otherwise).
What would be nice, is to put a lot of 'objectionable' words in the ping
messages the remailer lists use. So their stats will drop to zero by
their own filtering, while the stats of other remailers do not. Not
totally fair, but I think remops like Eelbash deserve things like this
coming to them :-) They could always object to this and include a footer
about this in their messages. Just like the former Thunder Byte
Anti-Virus objected to the disableing of 'heuristic' scanning when
detecting virussus. It was the smallest and fastest AV product even! To
bad they where taken over by Norman, I haven't checked out their AV
product yet. I use <www.avp.com> freeware for DOS (yet another hint
about my identity! I wish I stopped doing that).
