I'm not looking for "secure", I simply do not want to include my
local or router IP addresses in my headers.

Usenet seems filled with trolls, and people who accuse others of
trolling while displaying a pseudo-civilsed front that questions
everyones' motives. The latter then proceed to become judge and
jury on people whom they know little or nothing about.

Two things spring to mind...

1.) The "judges" are the type that become *real life* judges.

2.) Trolls at least admit they are trolls.
