	on a little more serious point; the use of multiple high
    bandwidth proxies is fast becoming essential to screen your
    address from the enquiring target, thereby forcing the Feds to
    use either very extensive sniffers or the power of the subpoena (not

    --next of course is payment and they want a credit card --not a check
    or cybercash --a credit card for open debit.
