redirecting
Everything in this article concerns Penet remailer. The subject seems only notable for that. However, be that as it may, there's no independent content here. I've therefor redirecting this article to Penet remailer. Nothing is lost and it can be restored if we get information about the subject that's not just about Penet remailer.--Scott Mac (Doc) 19:39, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
chronology does not work
The text "Helsingius went on to help found EUnet in Finland and was part of the team of people that established the first Internet link to a Soviet country." makes no sense because a) the Internet did not rise until there was no Soviet Union anymore, b) there is no "Soviet country", must either refer to the former Soviet Union, or a part of the former Soviet Union, or the Eastern Block/Warsaw Pact countries, c) in the chronology of the article this would happen in 1996 at the earliest (after Penet was shut down) and it makes no sense that Eastern Block countries would not have had Internet until then.
An aside: Helsingius was an important person in Finland in the 90s and a celeb of sorts. This article could be a valuable record of history, but seems difficult to find source material referring to him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.247.15.207 (talk) 07:38, 21 March 2012 (UTC)
