Andrew, Tor's executive director, works directly with domestic abuse
victim organizations quite a bit so he could likely talk to this. As
for stats, I'm not sure what kind of numbers you mean but obviously
with a decentralized anonymity network we don't have figures for how
it's used. :)

As to Ted's point about list moderation, Karsten and I have been
managing the lists from a Mailman perspective but neither of us are
interested in policing threads. I hope tor-talk@ stays civil enough
that it doesn't require moderation but if it doesn't then someone else
(would need to be well known by us within the community) would need to
take that role.

Cheers! -Damian
