Hey Barrett;

Thanks for the kind words.  Funny that you bring that up.  Grainne O’Neill and I are working on trying to set up an NLG adopt-an-Anon program where we can get folks the name and number of an attorney BEFORE they need one, just in case.  I’ve not had the time to sit down and figure out how, exactly, we can work that, so any thoughts you may have are welcome and appreciated.

Hey, man-

Just wrote this. Have gotten a couple outlets interested in reviewing these accumulated facts, but it's such an uphill battle to get real attention to any of these things; HBGary got even the examination it did because of the still-novel "TEEN HACKERS BEAT SECURITY COMPANY AND ONE OF THEM IS PRETENDING TO BE 16" shit, plus a lot of combined media outreach by several people with a lot of experience and contacts.

I was never that tremendous of a journalist when I still did that "full-time," and only sometimes clever as a media critic/political humorist/whatever, so it's not a huge thing, objectively, for me to say that this is probably the most important thing I've had the occasion to write, in terms of what it clarifies and in terms of the important information that I've gotten much of from other activists with things like Telecomix and Anon. Please do read it and send it to anyone else you know who might perhaps be able to make use of the links, facts therein. Obviously parts are silly but that's not the fault of the people who just spent their day digging up tax filings, merger papers, etc. Also, wanted to again just thank you in general for the time you've given to all of this, as well as to myself and many others; you were probably more personally responsible for matching clients with pro bono folks than anyone else in the legal community, and in a more just world you'd be getting tremendous recognition for that whether you wanted it or not.
