OK, I was just curious to see what you'd say.

Nope. I'm total freelance.

I snipped your interchange with Roger because I have nothing new to add.
Roger says: "No backdoors. Ever." And you argue that statements by
American subjects who work for its government can't be trusted. But as
you and Roger seem to agree, it's all just words. What's to counter?

My point, which you sidestep, is that it's past time for you to produce
some evidence for backdoors in Tor. You and your associates are free to
inspect the source code, to probe the network as you like with your
relays and clients, and to do whatever else you can imagine. Go for it.

I'm not interested in debating. It would be repetitious and boring.
