Which is a good thing for everyone I suspect. As I may have commented once or twice [...]]]> http://www.anonymong.org/2012/01/31/rule-of-mob/feed/ 0 http://www.anonymong.org/2012/01/18/internet-black-out/ http://www.anonymong.org/2012/01/18/internet-black-out/#comments Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:07:10 +0000 Giolla http://www.anonymong.org/?p=2193 I didn’t take part in the Internet blackout today, as I’m a lazy sod and also I’m just back at work after a very hard weeks drinking.
