schestowitz"It’s absolutely not relevant if Microsoft is carbon negativ or zero or such, if in same time nothing else changes. These are no innovation drivers. But it will increase costs of energy because big players want to green wash. And it makes new market barriers because you divide into players that can effort that green energy (there will not be enough) and players that are cheap.

schestowitz> Happy New Year!Jan 28 06:54
schestowitzYou too, thank you.Jan 28 06:54
schestowitz> Yes, we can absolutely do this -- give me a few days to figure out the Seattle PD process for documents and I'll let you know how soon we could get that together depending on how onerous they make it. This sounds like a great place to start. We LOVE getting document troves :)Jan 28 06:57

schestowitz> When I start going public about the details of this request I will beJan 28 07:05

schestowitz> the emails associated from that request, to protect my identity the bestJan 28 07:05
schestowitz> I can. The journal entries I sent you are all from my personal name. Jan 28 07:05
schestowitz> Jan 28 07:05
schestowitz> Every response from them was the same, but at times they were 1-3 daysJan 28 07:05

schestowitzI have just received an informal commitment from victims of ephebophiles. They too may be submitting requests soon. Jan 28 07:05
schestowitzIf you have any note about the process involved, pass them along to make it easier for them.Jan 28 07:05
schestowitz> It’s also a good idea to tweet all relevant info related to this case under #PedoMansion so people can easily filter through this stuff and find the ? updates on Twitter. Since we both post a lot of other stuff, that might help to make it easier to search. Jan 28 07:12
