I see things got a little heated again last night. Almighty Zarquon! Slagging people off here won't achieve anything other than convincing those who haven't decided yet that we're a bunch of mardy, spiteful little techies.

Congratulations on being asked to speak at the meeting Alexander - that's great news for us here and another counter to the Phorm spin and PR machine.

Disappointing news that only 52 people have signed up to attend. Even those who believe it to be nothing more than a PR exercise should make the effort to attend, see for themselves and contribute. There might just be a media presence there asking for your opinion. I hope more people will come along.

Someone mentioned nuclear shelters. There were a few public service information broadcasts and adverts for shelters in the US in the 1950s (http://blog.wfmu.org/ was where I found them). Having watched Peter Watkins' excellent The War Game several times before hearing the adverts, I knew that the shelters really were of little assistance.
