So? A relay can always have behaved badly. What's the harm in you
fraudulently claiming to be in family com.example.chadmiller ? A user's
path won't have passed through both you and me, but you could have
prevented traffic from passing through you any time. At worst, you get to
participate in a user's path and exclude me from participating. That's no
worse than you setting your machine on fire and me participating.
