Some abbreviation I'm not familiar with for Monsignor? I'm pretty sure I've not been called to the RC priesthood, or for that matter the RC church in general.

Nor am I enthusiastic about the prospect of anything that doesn't break some essential aspect of Tor working. (I don't mean implementation. I mean it will fail on an abstract protocol level even before that.) At best you might reduce this from virtual certainty to a very serviceable stochastic attack. But that's a good thing, because otherwise Tor would be more vulnerable to long path attacks. aloha, Paul _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list tor-talk@lists.torproject.org https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
