Good riddance. The sooner someone gives Julian Assange 230gr of shut
the f*** up, the better.
I find it distressing when Network Operators are willing to encourage DDoS'ing
of a site. Any site. Especially on an operational list, where politics are
specifically prohibited.
You don't like Wikileaks, that's between you & Julian. A DDoS affects the
infrastructure of multiple networks, users, other websites, etc., etc. Most people
who read the last sentence thought to themselves that is beyond obvious. It is a
shame you do not understand it.
Put another way, perhaps you should take your own 230gr.
