A little bit of Grokwar

Just documenting the facts in sadness not anger.
At about 10:30 am Eastern
today, I helpfully posted an anonymous comment to the latest Groklaw article (through
Tor). The subject was " So, what's left on the table", leading on from PJ's paragraph
in the article. It contained a slighly updated version of the text from IV 13636
[ http://www.investorvillage.com/smbd.asp?mb=1911&mn=13636&pt=msg&mid=946673 ]
and the words 'Source: SCO's 294 Alleged Violations [ http://www.zen77087.zen.co.uk/nug/alleg/viols.shtml
] recently updated' in a nice clicky link. For avoidance of doubt, there is nothing
on that page from any sealed document. Groklaw user tiger99 [ http://www.groklaw.net/users.php?mode=profile&uid=7552
] posted a reply Not much, but thanks for an excellent analysis of the remains [

].
But now it's deleted, and tiger99's reply orphaned.
So a friendly
warning to anyone who might want to cite my humble effort at GL. Don't! You will
risk your posting privileges.
That is all.

I exchanged email with PJ regarding Groklaw's moderation of the Sizzling Allegation
Table.
She says the table is important research and her inability to use
or maintain links to it is a crying shame.
PJ is uncomfortable with the
Sizzle site for the outing of Biff's IP and the honeypot effort used to detect it.
PJ feels that this "prank" was beyond the pale ethically. PJ fears that this might
(or in future hypothetical incidents) expose PJ/groklaw to legal attacks using European
privacy laws by parties gunning for GL.
PJ recognizes the message board
mileu has it own ethical context, but she feels this conflicts with the core values
of GL.
I am not trying to dismiss Sizz by reporting these reservation. As
I have shared, I am a fancier of honey in all its many containers.
