Minimal impact on privacy? I wouldn't say NSA having access to all Skype calls a "minimal impact on privacy".

Given how supernodes worked, the NSA might have had as many supernodes as it wanted, with your traffic going through them and you none the wiser. Hence, your argument doesn't stand, really.

Only if you had to use supernodes. All you had to do was open an outside port for skype and you wouldn't need supernodes for anything.

wrong on top of wrong on top of wrong.

Like I said, people still don't get it.

Supernodes are a directory service. "Traffic" as in text and video traffic rarely, if ever, is transmitted through Supernodes.

Seriously? I give up.
