No, you're the only one using it.

A couple of years ago it was used by ldraw.org -- I wrote a simple remailer
for Terry Keller to use for parts voting when the one he had been using at
some other site suddenly went dead.  I took that and extended it for your
factoring and train stuff, but it's not something that's in general use.

Oh my.  I thought I had made it clear that this was hush-hush when I asked
you to remove the text on your pages that credited me with helping out on
that part...and I thought I had asked specifically a couple of times that
you not draw attention to it.

I made the remailer as a personal favor to you a long time ago and didn't
want its existence to be made known publicly.  It's not something for general
use and not something I want to support in any way.

Certainly I have no problem with it being used for internal LUGNET stuff but
this isn't the place to discuss that.
