Hi Ian, how are you? Being a lurker of Freenet in the last 10 years, after my initial involvement, I have no moral right to discuss the subject.
But in fact, I too do not understand the total silence on this subject on all Freenet lists, including announce, before you mail. IMHO it will be useful, and more polite too, to send some post here with link to your video and public Locutus documents. I write this, of course, without taking any personal position on this subject. I know branding is very important in general, but is the evil himself in my personal philosophy. I'll start to study Locutus a little , and thanks, as always, for your work. Marco P.S. any trip to Italy in the near future?
