b) is how I find out if my message arrived. And you are right, there is a
security risk if you visit a newsgroup, and especially if you only
download *your* message.

So what I do is download all the messages from a bunch of newsgroups in
which I am interested, and even if I were interested in only one
newsgroup, I would still download all the messages from a bunch of them.

I also generate dummy traffic, so no observer, even somebody who can see
all of the internet, can tell how many real messages I sent in a given
period.

Thanks, yes, that was my question. I saw your reply after I
replied to the other guy. So I was not far off as to how I could be
"spotted". But you have thought out and implemented a counter-attack,
rather a counter-confuse. Good work.
