Along with the estimable Bagua, I'm trying to watch your back without being too obvious about it on DoD.  You got in several choice comments today, which is encouraging.  There's a knee-jerk reaction on the part of some of the crew about thread-jacking, and I can see it from their point of view.  At the same time, what you're doing (promoting All-American Ideals such as democracy and freedom of expression and information ought to be totally in-line with the ideals of even your most beer-sodden critics.  Perhaps in some rare access of sobriety, it will suddenly dawn on them.  Then again, perhaps not.  No one ever promised us a rose garden. 

As for your projects and a lot of the related stuff, I'm still connecting the dots and attempting to get the big picture. Perhaps I'm just a slow learner. Given my lack of mad skilz in most everything, I see my own role as one of communicating what you guys are doing each time I see the possibility of doing so.  Statistically speaking, I'm bound to bring some worthwhile elements into the mix.

In the meantime, keep on doing your thing, and thank you for keeping me in the loop.

Best,

J.

I'm bringing the people I've recruited most recently into irc.freenode.net, #projectpm, to help finish the third document, http://www.typewith.me/qdjqeFFu8O. Hopefully it will be ready to release tonight (although we will keep updating it as needed). It will be addressed to Tunisians and North Africans. I believe Michael Hastings mentioned us on Bill Maher on Friday but haven't seen it yet or spoken to him since right before he went on; at any rate, we've begun distributing "posters" on the internet to promote the guides and encourage people to start their own organizations.
