Assange began
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_%28computer_security%29>hacking
under the name Mendax (from
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace>Horace's splendide mendax:
"nobly untruthful").
That was Julian's teeny-bop spy parody proto-Hebdo. Slyer wit now
with middle-aged foreign
affairs pedantry. Endless war askance a pension plan.
You know what, John: you're right. It doesn't matter what Mendax
calls you. Some of us have placed you in that category all on our own.
Recent events would not have been quite as alarming, otherwise.
