slayda,

Thanks. I confess that you got under my skin with the comment about trying to get a rise out of Nate a while back. But that's water (with Pooh sticks, if you will) under the bridge.

My understanding is that there is an association between Tor and tor.com, but that tor.com is not a sales vehicle for Tor. I reckon tor.com is probably best thought of as a long-term sponsorship venture for an online community, much like corporate funding of a sports stadium or a tennis tournament. But you can't buy a Monster Cable subscription at the stadium formerly known as Candlestick Park, for instance.

However, Torie's name is a coincidence, plain and simple. Sometimes things like that really do happen.
