FOR THOSE who wonder why we mostly focus on Microsoft, this is a preference of convenience, as taking one topic at the time enables a more organised and consistent coverage, addressing one topic at the time, however thoroughly. We refer to it as "Cablegate" and not "Wikileaks" because Wikileaks is the key publisher; it is not, however, the actual source of the information. Cablegate is treated by us not as borderline illegal but as a matter of public interest; it's taxpayers who paid for all those cables to be written and affect their lives profoundly. They have the right to know what those whom they fund are doing behind closed doors. There are many mirrors out there with exactly the same material; we're not quite the exception, but we focus on subjects that we understand better and can help our future posts about new events.

I always go in with my well known name - then am accused of trying to get around bans, am attacked with absurd accusations, etc.
If you are saying it is OK to go there anonymously to avoid such BS, I welcome that idea. I just did not want to enter your IRC channel in a way that would be in any way dishonest. Let me know if you do not want me to enter anonymously.
