I have gotten several very interesting insights from some of the anonymous
posters. It's an issue of quality vs. quantity. Even if less than 10% of
the posts are anonymous, those ones are still a significant contribution.

A single exit remailer as last in the chain would be acceptable.
Redundancy cries for more than one however. Going thru a person who is
responsible for scrubbing the return address exposes that person to too
