Except in the latter, the friends are all related and knowledgeable of each 
other and as such, should some form of investigation be undertaken, then it 
only takes one to be weaker and your entire cell network is exposed!

create an anonymous opinion routing network is easy, if you use the same 
methodology as worm technology :)  (But as opt-in and controlled of course! 
Think Spectrum Hopping Wireless)
