   Really? Doesn't paganini get a lot of problem with spam? Can you really   
   post without an account?   
      
   My provider has rate limiting, which I hit at times. It is a bit annoying,   
   but I take it as a cueue to go out and play after I spent too much time in   
   front of the computer. ;)   
      
   When it comes to dizum, and remailing, I would not trust it for anything   
   but casual stuff. Authorities brought down the silkroad, so I think they   
   could probably break their way into dizum. But I would love to be proven   
   wrong!
