Who is that STUPID?

The message isn't anonymous when it leaves the author's computer or ISP.
The simplest discovery could identify them if one were really determined.

There aren't that many major ISPs in America, and every remailer knows where
it's getting mail FROM.

How many times are you going to repeat this technical falsehood. I've
corrected you many, many times in the past so you can't claim
ignorance of the following:

1) When an email is sent via anonomous remailer, it is encrypted when
leaving the author's PC and cannot be linked to the plaintext.

2) Without access to remailer private keys, the message cannot be
decrypted (even by the sender!!)

3) Chains of remailers are typically used. Each remailer in the chain
adds another layer of encryption and locking.

4) Plaintext is seen ONLY by the last hop remailer; all others handle
only encryted data and a destination address.

5) Remailers don't keep routing records

6) Remailers impose aribitray delays in forwarding a package so
timestamps are not usable for tracking. (i.e. network analysis won't
work)

7) Using encrypted email and remailers is not of itself illegal.

8) In short, you are technically full of ***.
