 No worries. :)

 addresses? If so, that's not so good.

 > The answer to this is "yes and no." Each student has a single address
 that can't be changed, and they can create unlimited alias' (but only one
 every 30 days I think). The answer would be to just accept mail from the
 `mail.gatech.edu` domain (the one each student only gets one of). The
 alias' (@gatech.edu) don't matter.

 I´m marking this ticket as a duplicate of #1562, which is more general. I
 added this info there.

 > > Also, if the goal is to help people in China, China has already over-
 run this bridge distribution strategy (via gmail and yahoo accounts). So
 what you should really want is a separate distribution bucket, with its
 own bridges. Which sounds like a fine thing, except we don't have any
 developers working on this sort of thing.

 > Good point (China was perhaps a bad example). I'd like to get involved
 with the Tor Project from a development standpoint; perhaps I'll take a
 look at this if I can find the time (not likely to happen at the moment;
 most of my OSS work has petered out lately, but you never know).
