It made it to the list. =:o)
In any case, I set my node up as "middleman" from the beginning. Given
that I'm just running from my home, I wouldn't have a whole lot of
backing to defend from legal or police troubles; running as a middleman
allows me to provide capacity to the network, while avoiding most of the
liability (potentially) carried by exit nodes.
As others have suggested, I strongly recommend trying "going middleman"
before leaving the network completely. Taking an occasional peek at my
Tor service via TCPView (shouldn't be a problem, since I'm only
connected to other nodes), you'd be surprised how much utilization I get
even as a middleman! =:oD Every little bit of bandwidth helps.
