hhmm... I would not have detracted from the importance of the information provided in the link from original post by titling the thread with an attack on how Mudcat operates.

Actually the link deserves more attention and should be placed in a thread of it's own. I find it disturbing that government departments especially intelligence and military are propagandizing in this way. I also fear they are collecting intelligence from any posting dissenters.

One thing for corporations and political parties to do it. Something else for a "democratic" government to not only permit but engage in it.

So when does the Red Army come banging down our doors for a throwaway comment on some obscure music forum?
