There are workarounds for this (e.g repeaters, or "federating" pubsub servers, so that a feed publisher can see only anonymous nodes subscribed to their feeds, and this will save even more bandwidth). However my point was just: privacy should never be a stopper for designing a service, just a requirement, then let users choose. bye -- Fabio Forno, Ph.D. Bluendo srl http://www.bluendo.com jabber id: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
