Re: Re[2]: Interoperating with p2p traffic

[Matt Thorne <mlthorne@xxxxxxxxx>]

That isn't a bad Idea, and possibly something that They (with help ofcourse :-) could build into their P2P software. Probably not a bad thing for them to lookinto just for their own use, not because We ask them to, but becuase that would really mess with the heads of the people at (Insert 4 letter accronym here).

 

question:

 

how do the people who feel posesive towards tor think about this idea?
