Those who post through remailers are automatically suspected of being
up to no good, because this level of security is really only necessary
to prevent a poster's news service from being canceled for a complaint
regarding some terms of service issues. Trolls post this way, so they
can keep abusing people.

DOWNLOADING these files, is a much higher security risk than is posting
text messages, and you can't use a remailer for that. If you trust your
news service to not log your downloads, then it seems reasonable to
trust it to not log your posts.
Of course, using a news service that doesn't fill your post's headers
with insecure information, is a good idea.
Posting *files* is another issue.
