No worries.  This is a fresh slate here.  We have an opportunity to lay a new base of legal protection.  Now that the media spotlight is mostly off Anon, perhaps we can encourage folks to be a bit more thoughtful all around, and maybe not break so many laws, or at least not break them in such a reckless manner.  One is no good to a movement from inside a cell for many years. 

So any thoughts you have about how folks can safely and securely reach out to us are very welcome.

Great, I liked working with O'Neill briefly on this, other than my exception to their request that I somehow just "hand" them "right" to defend every single Anon, which Heidi instigated, after which I also got a call from Center for Constitutional Law asking same thing, and apparently they all hate Cohen and he hated all of them. And three of the kids from Anonops were assholes to me. One forgave me profusely later and was mostly just drinking and scared and young-ish, the other is whatever, other is Mercedes, who has recently claimed on her Twitter that she's only Anon I assisted, that I "wanted to go to prison for a book deal" that didn't exist when I was supposed to have said it (to Stanley Cohen!), and several other really terrible things, and in the direction of @YourAnonNews with intent that it be retweeted. I was really hurt by that, even after developing a thicker skin.

Also, apologize for giving you so many complaints, but again, there are few people I'm comfortable talking about some of these things with who is also involved in them, etc. Thanks again. Also we got our Trapwire coverage rolling at NBC, etc.
