  • A good idea or a bad idea?

    From Nomen Nescio@nobody@dizum.com to alt.privacy.anon-server,alt.privacy,alt.anonymous on Monday, December 08, 2025 08:53:58

    What if there was a program that posted bogus but realistic looking
    messages to AAM.

    Kindly give your pros and cons on the idea.

    It's already being done. In fact, I would estimate that approx.
    80% of AAM content is dummy messages. I know because I send
    them. Hourly.

    If it begins with "jA0E" then it's a dummy.

    I just took a look and see your dummy messages, so it's not a really bad
    idea, but it's already being done.

    If you're posting that spam for no reason then you're either an idiot
    or an adversary of anonymous remailing. So what's your reason?

    The first answer was mine "Bad. Unnecessary clutter.". I was
    thinking it was referring to the alt.privacy.anon-server news group.
    It is a good thing to send dummy messages to AAM. The reason is that
    if you are communicating with someone(s) using AAM, you need to
    randomly post good dummy messages. If you don't, then every message
    you post will be a legitimate message and can be easily tracked by evil
    NSA, etc. If they are sitting on your IP and gathering your messages,
    they will have to try to decrypt all of them to see which one is valid.
    It is only right to put it to those corrupt, Constitution tramplers
    who are trying to destroy you.
