    the mini-nym.
    If you know how to create a nym, and find the nymservers reliable,
    then don't bother with this - the regular nyms do a better job.
    But, if you are one of the people that find creating a nym a
    formidable task, or find that the nymservers are unreliable, then give
    this a try. It will enable you to receive replies to your usenet or
    email posts, while retaining your anonymity, and that, to me anyway,
    is 90 percent of what using a nym is about.
    Here's what you do: Create a key in the form:
    somename@chesnym.hopto.org. 'somename' should be letters or numbers,
    and not exceed 20 characters.
    Mail the key, anonymously, to: config@chesnym.hopto.org.

    "retaining your anonymity, and that, to me" ... "me" meaning them (they keep rebranding)
