LOL, I love that idea! 

Sorry everybody, I should know better to feed the pidgeons. FWIW
though, this one made me chuckle. Audible, real-life, endorphine
releasing chuckle.  =D

In the spirit of the original question/complaint/troll, and to reiterate
my points (which I felt were made rather gentlemanly, if I do say so
myself), you can call Tor a lot of things, but a scam is simply not
true. Scam is, by definition, not a accurate assessment of the Tor
project, onion routing, and generally anything produced by the talented
folks who DONATE their time to the project.

So by extension and assumption, I feel comfortable with my overall
comprehension of your (again, directed to the OP) messages. I call your
concise and meaningful and raise you logic. And, I'm all in! 

As for taking you for an idiot, of course not. I stopped interacting
with uninteresting people years ago... well anyways, I'm in it for the
meat, if there is any. Plus, you made me chuckle. 

Facing inadequecies in projects head on with open minds is one of the
many reasons open source software and the communities behind them are
so important.
