Don't kid us, Dan. Close your fucking relays (not that any of them talk to
my hosts anyhow). If this has to be drummed into your bonehead again: THEY
WILL FIND YOUR RELAYS ON THEIR OWN, AND THEY WILL ABUSE THEM, NO MATTER
HOW LOUD YOU SCREAM. THEY SIT IN CHINA, PAKISTAN AND KOREA, AND THERE IS
NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT THEM SHORT OF CALLING THE WHITEHOUSE AND GETTING
THESE PLACES INVADED. Alternatively, you could come to your senses and
shut the literal front door of your house now that you've finally noticed
the first unsavory characters passing by. A couple years after the rest
of us, no doubt.

And they won't need ORBS or any other service to locate you, either.
Stop complaining. No more secrets (now that's from Scott Yelich's tagline).
