Comment(by wseltzer):

 I wonder about "Should I run an exit relay from my home?"  The current
 text seems a bit alarmist to me.  We're not aware of any United States
 incidents, and few outside the United States.  Shall we also suggest
 university research facilities?

 Instead of the Yes/No, what about: "Where should I run an exit relay?"

 Since exit relays appear to be the "source" of traffic routed through the
 Tor network, you might consider running exit relays from network
 colocation or non-home locations.

 If law enforcement becomes interested in traffic from your exit relay,
 it's possible that officers will seize the computer to look for evidence.
 For that reason, it's probably best not to run your exit relay in your
 home or using your home Internet connection.

 Instead, consider running your exit relay in a commercial collocation
 facility where you contract for Internet services, or in a university or
 research setting. Have a separate IP address for your exit relay, and
 don't route your own traffic through it.

 Of course, you should avoid keeping any sensitive or personal information
 on the computer hosting your exit relay, and you never should use that
 machine for any illegal purpose.
