Hi,

My "that's us" is in response to the "imaginative fringe cases" 
statement, as that is how the network came into existence, with "us" 
being the community at large :)

Tor traffic is discriminated against because it can be identified as Tor 
traffic.  Blending in with the larger herd (as unique individuals) seems 
ideal, though the resources to accomplish this seem out of scale with 
the resulting experience, at least for now.

Understood :)  Though the argument isn't pro add-ons, it is con 
detectability.  My apologies for sidetracking your inquiry.

Wordlife,
Spencer
