John Gilmore found that out after Verio disconnected his perpetual open relay for example .. and TOR is just as nutty a concept.
Nothing less that I'd expect from the EFF, frankly speaking - but clued people (and you are clued, for sure) shouldnt be running it.
Would you feel better if instead of "Tor" it was called "Crowds" and instead of those rapscallions at the EFF it was a nice respectable AT&T Research project from Avi Ruben? I bet I still have my "Anonymity Loves Company" shirt somewhere... Anonymous speech is a vital concept if you expect Free speech. http://avirubin.com/crowds.pdf
