How you should use tor for maximum anonymity

This is a nice overview of the design philosophy behind nym servers and the alt.anonymous.messages (AAM) newsgroup. It discusses the outlines of the SOP of a group of child pornography traders. This group was penetrated by the Feds after they busted one guy, and despite their participation in the group for 18 months they were unable to capture everyone. Most notably, the group’s leader (who strictly adhered to the SOP) was able to avoid capture.
