First, I think that your analisys is interesting & useful.

If I well understood your test, I  disagree
 on your conclusion.

IMVHO, you concentrate too much on the bad chains; I think
 you are measuring the reliability of the mail2news
 gateway each remailer use; this can be low or the m2n gw
 can be misconfigured too ....
