Does the 2600 plan of meeting at a public place at a certain time not count?
How about setting up a 'front' booth at a public place, with the title
of the meeting prominent, so that anons would be able to pretend to
accidentally discover it?
What if everyone puts on a mask first?
What are the requirements for these anon-meat meetings? I don't see
why if N anonymous people arrange it publicly, and M >> N arrive,
anonymity is lost. The N arrangers could all not even show.
