One more thing; just noticed I'm referred to as spokesman. That's not
entirely accurate. Gregg Housh serves same role as I do in terms of being a
namefag who talks to press, and Anon doesn't have roles or titles. As I
mentioned, I'm a propagandist, but just one of many, and though I'm
organizing legal counsel, I don't have official capacity in regards to that.
NYT refers to me simply as "Barrett Brown," for instance.
