There's the set of TOR users, and there's the subset of TOR users that 
need to have the property of "anonymity for safety",  and then there's 
the set of people who need/want access to the IETF.

Could you provide an educated guess on the size of the intersection of 
those last two sets?   1?  10s? 100s? 1000s?  More?   I'm trying to 
understand the amount of hyperbole being slung about.

Finally, are there any other methods  besides Tor you can think of that 
would give "anonymity for safety" while still providing access to the 
IETF data? (Hint: asking a friend to photocopy paper or send you a usb 
stick.... or...)
