I said "wasn't there", as in past tense. It got nuked years ago now
(literally) because of complaints. When I looked at the page it still
had the text but a note that it was disabled, and why.
Just wandering if anyone knew if anyone else had set up something more
recently that still worked.

You might get away with that for a pretty long time, I guess.

Right. So there is one anonymizer, and if we make a big game of using
this method, Lance will get threats, and at best be asked to block
them. We need something more distributed.
That network of anonymizers isn't here yet.

Well I was thinking along the lines of:
[email protected]
type addresses yes. You ain't imitating anyone there. I wonder if
they frown on generating non-replyable email addresses though.
Non-existant domains. I speculated in the previous post that perhaps
the habit of using:
[email protected]
might make ISPs accustomed to having people use non-replyable email
address all the time.
