Assange would be more interesteng, more credible, and therefore more
useful, if he had more information and less ego.  He got quickly
eclipsed by the far more damaging relelations of Mr. Snowden and I
suspect he misses all the press coverage since moving into the
Ecuadorian Embassy in London.

We know what Google is and we're not naively expecting roses and
unicorns from the data-gathering beast.  But Assange needs to just go
piss up a rope.  I'm tired of him, and in hindsight, wikileaks wasn't
nearly as astonishing as what came next.

Kudos to you, by the way, D Niedermar for having a gopher site.  That's
awesome - I'll have to go check it out from my other computer.
