Which is, of course, how anonymizing services achieve most of their
value.  If only one person is using an anonymizer, then they are still
effectively traceable.  If, on the other hand, that one person is
mixed in with 140,000 other requests [an actual number] then they are
more likely to be anonymous.

 
even better if you don't identify how MANY other people they are mixed
in with - then if there are n anonymizers, the attackers can't
identift the weakest one to attack first
