The invention describes a method and system for communication from one or more anonymous sender(s) and to one or more known recipient(s). This method involves the use of a trusted third party that: receives messages from a sender(s), validates the sender(s) and message destination, removes identifying header information from the message, stores the message for a random time period, and then sends to a defined set of recipient(s), all messages received, in random order. The third party receives messages in various formats and sends messages in recipients' preferred format. By holding messages for a random period of time and then sending them in random order to recipients, the third party diminishes the effectiveness of traffic monitoring activities. This invention is particularly designed for applications where senders are providing qualitative feedback to recipients, including but, not limited to, employee-employer communications, collaborative brainstorming, employee knowledge capture and dissemination, and customer-to-vendor feedback.
