Steve,

Thank you on behalf of the ideal.

I think you are an asset being a helper and a maintainer will more likely appear now.
It appears to me that there are far too many TOR people popping up on the same aspect leaving fragmented impressions.
If one person is the one to ask for directions it must be better than that.

One big question to do with using Amazon is "What can we do when the free year runs out that isn't costly?".
When I set up multiple accounts using all the credit cards I could manipulate they didn't notice that I was paying with one card. I wonder what other things they might not notice.

I don't think a tor proxy is even a tiny burden to Amazon's system so is it possible that they might offer us an ongoing deal which costs, say, $20Aus a year which would be tolerable for many of us?

Are there any other clouds which offer honeymoon deals like Amazon's?

Good on you.
Robert
