        Unfortunately, ORBS does not allow for people who DO know
        about relays, and DO close them, and don't want to be scanned
        anymore.  In the ORBS world, that simply isn't an option.

        That's where most of the sane anti-ORBS sentiment comes from.

        ("Sane" obviously does not include folks who actually do have
        open relays.)
