After this week it is likely I will be quiet for a week or two as I have to study for my taxi drivers exams and when I am not I will be working on the site/protest event so please don't think I have dropped everything but I have a family which means I have bills to pay and our mortgage already bounced this month so I have no choice than to take the job driving a cab until I finish my Masters.

Once my exam is out of the way I will be working 70 hours a week in the cab and the rest of my time will be finalising the protest event, so I am sure you can appreciate I might not be as available as I have been.

I hope everyone keeps going as they have and that as many of you as possible turn up to the protest.

Good luck Alexander. Thank you for driving us this far and please come back when you can. I can't see someone of your passion and limitless enthusiasm leaving this one alone for too long :).

4. Kent expects the vocal minority to continue to become less and less vocal, and even more so once full service is launched.

As a demonstration of support, can anyone who has been with this since the start but been quiet recently respond to this thread with these simple words:

I'M STILL HERE

I will still be here, I just won't be able to read every single thing that comes up. If people need to contact me about something specific they can still send me a PM or contact me via NoDPI but I might miss questions posted in this and other threads.

Indeed there was: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ertogrul

Personally I believe everything I read on Wikipedia, unless it's been edited by Phorm, obviously :D

it may be an idea for more of us to register on iii and other investment forums , iii has a 48 hour period between registering and be able to post so my advice is register now then you can post later if required

let them see just how many of us there is lurking in the wings

This was a topic of discussion on Badphorm prior to Jim quite rightly stearing the discussion towards things we can control. I can't see what hacking off small-time investors will achieve. Really the only people who pay any attention to these forums are the small investor. Why not write to the larger investors listed in the register of shareholders for the company?

My source believes this may be the reason for the Phorm publicity stunt in the Times this weekend.

Well what a shocking surprise (perhaps not!).

On a press note, I mailed Charles Arthur at the Guardian today to point out the issue with the last piece where they said "second trial" by BT instead of third. He says they had a correction for that pending which I think should be live by now.

I also pointed out the Baroness' comments - he was not aware but I have supplied him with links to the records of the debate on line. I think he'll be watching them a bit more closely.

I still find it very distasteful that Phorm are now able to publish on their website: "Phorm praised in the House of Lords". Praised, not. Misguidedly mis-represented, yes - and only because the Baroness was unfortunate enough to meet the alleged brother of the Times journalist ("Alleged," I said, "only alleged!")

Nothing found yet but have found an interesting article from the NY Times in 1999. Apologies if this has already been posted amongst the 605 pages already.

Lifetimes of Memories Preserved on CD-ROM's by Kent

Well I did not know of that activity he was involved in but this man does sometimes appear to have just a little too much of an interest in what people do, have done, are doing and he seems to want to know more private information about them than would perhaps normally be considered 'healthy' - don't you think?

fair comment but if you look at the size of most of the trades it seems to be the little guy who is keeping most of this together at the moment, if you look at my posts over there i have not been ranting or hacking off but trying to present a reasoned discussion which some have engaged in, question the business model, point out the legal issues etc
