How about just via email for now as I wouldn't be able to call till tomorrow now. That okay? Thanks for your response. So here are some questions for you:

- Why have you now "left" Anonymous?

- If the Ryan incident hadn't happened, would you still be supporting / working with Anonymous?

- Would you agree that the four months of 2011 marked a politically-charged, "golden era" for Anonymous? Would you say that's ended now?

- Is Anonymous going to be on hiatus until the next big event comes along that strikes a chord with its constituents?

- Are you familiar with the hackers Sabu, Kayla, Tflow, Topiary, and do you believe they played a significant role in spearheading some of the key Anonymous operations in previous months, and keeping the masses motivated?

Also just so you know (and if, you don't mind, strictly between you and I) I'm working on a book proposal on Anonymous. I'm not sure yet whether it will come to complete fruition, but I seem to have some good material and initial support from an agent. We'll see where that goes, but it would be great to talk further with you at some point about Anonymous' history since you seem quite in the know. Do you happen to know if anyone else is planning a book on the collective? Sort of want to be aware if I'm crossing wires with anyone.

Many thanks,

Parmy
