And, then, it seems to me that it is no a big problem to exclude
packages with encrypted information from sniffing logs for people who
setting up nodes for that evil purposes.
But, in the other side, it seems to me that guys which set up so such
fast nodes are not full lamers. And they probably can read this mailing

As concern to me, if I read some bad about my nodes here I will write
something to answer, no?
