Hi Mr Brown, 

thanks a lot! 

Here we go: 

- According to my knowledge you began collaborating online with Anonymous in 2006. For what reason? What role did you play in the beginning? What did you do there? I heard about one "elite team of pranksters"? 

- How did you became the "spokesman" of Anonymous? And isn't it impossible in their anti-leader-ethic to have one? What was the reason they choose you anyway?

- How would you describe the community? Once you said: "a process more than a thing"? 

- What is a force of Anonymous and where you see faintnesses?

- In how far you were involved in operations like Payback, HPGary or others?

- What was your task in operations like Tunesia and Lybia?

- After all you quit the job a few days ago. What was the reason?

- Who now took it for you?

I hope you could answer my questions till tomorrow?

Thanks a lot and kind regards, 
Britta Weddeling

Hi Mr Brown, 

I'm a German journalist and on a story about Anonymous. 
This week, you probably got this information, some Anons attacked the Website of the German police. Background: German police sabotaged the PC-system of the German "Piratenpartei". This party stands for freedom of information and more liberty in the web. 

I read about your reasons to quit the job as the Anon-spokesman, but I hope we could have a short chat about it this or I could send you some questions via mail?

As a journalist you know about storydeadline – I got mine on thursday evening. I hope we could manage it till then? 

Thanks a lot and – with greetings,
