Talk:Pseudonymous remailer

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Question About Phrasing

From first paragraph, emphasis mine: "Unlike a purely anonymous remailers, it assigns its users a user name, and it keeps a database of instructions on how to return messages to the real user."

This doesn't make sense, does anyone know what this is supposed to say? Is it "Unlike a (missing word or phrase), a purely anonymous remailer assigns..."? I'm reluctant to fix this phrase until I find out what it's supposed to say. I guess I'll go poke around in the history and find out who wrote it an ask him/her. - Square pear 03:13, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Both kinds of remailers remove the author's identification. A purely anonymous remailer sends anyone's message with no name attached. Unlike a purely anonymous remailer, pseudonymous remailers attach a pseudonym specific to each author (but not easily traceable to their original identity).

This version is alright, IMO.--84.56.85.191 11:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
