"The original and still the best" is what THE means to me :) Though 
[ing] vs [er] seems debatable since Tor is a thing that does onion-like 
layered routing.

But, to understand more, are the other onion routing projects 
implementing their own onion routing protocol or are they implementing 
Tor? I could investigate this myself but I don't know enough to figure 
out the difference unless explicitly stated.

Wordlife,
