While I don't really have an opinion on whether this service should stay
dormant, I do hope they leave the TorMail name behind. Too many users got
confused about whether it was an official Tor service (it wasn't). And I
can't help but conclude that this confusion was intentional and welcome
on the part of the service operators -- which I confess makes me have
little sympathy for them disappearing.
