| schestowitz | > | Aug 18 00:07 |
| schestowitz | > We are seriously concerned for his well-being and are outraged by the | Aug 18 00:07 |
| schestowitz | > continuous violation of due process and countless other abuse of process | Aug 18 00:07 |
| schestowitz | > taking place. This is happening now, in the U.K. – prominent | Aug 18 00:07 |
| schestowitz | > publications remain silent on his treatment. | Aug 18 00:07 |
| schestowitz | > | Aug 18 00:07 |
| schestowitz | > Since March, Julian has not been allowed to see his family. Access to | Aug 18 00:07 |
| schestowitz | > lawyers, which was already limited, came to a full stop. He was finally | Aug 18 00:07 |
| schestowitz | > given a computer to prepare his defence – it came with keys glued down! | Aug 18 00:07 |
| schestowitz | > | Aug 18 00:07 |

| schestowitz | > | Aug 18 00:07 |
| schestowitz | > Only five journalists were allowed to attend the latest hearing. Most of | Aug 18 00:07 |
| schestowitz | > them, in addition to observers, were asked to use the dreaded dial-in | Aug 18 00:07 |
| schestowitz | > system again. On this occasion, instead of listening to the court | Aug 18 00:07 |
| schestowitz | > proceedings, they heard Muzak. Dozens were left on hold the time! | Aug 18 00:08 |
| schestowitz | > | Aug 18 00:08 |

| schestowitz | > To boost traffic I had been sending an *_email_* with a link to a | Aug 18 18:35 |
| schestowitz | > special article to my friends and relatives, directing them to a special | Aug 18 18:35 |
| schestowitz | > posting, and adding another link below that in case they wanted to read | Aug 18 18:35 |
| schestowitz | > browse more articles. | Aug 18 18:35 |
| schestowitz | > | Aug 18 18:35 |
| schestowitz | > The problem, from my viewpoint was if the second tier recipients wanted | Aug 18 18:35 |
| schestowitz | > to browse they were unable to, unless they went back to the email page, | Aug 18 18:35 |
| schestowitz | > and it was even worse if they wanted to send it to a 3rd party by | Aug 18 18:35 |
| schestowitz | > passing it on to through *email; *it* *would be very unlikely the | Aug 18 18:35 |
| schestowitz | > recipients would do anything more than view the link to the special article. | Aug 18 18:35 |
| schestowitz | > | Aug 18 18:35 |
| schestowitz | > Now the Link to see the special posting and continue reading by using | Aug 18 18:35 |
| schestowitz | > the link to browse all on the same page, makes it both a convenience for | Aug 18 18:36 |
| schestowitz | > them and a traffic booster for me. Of course, the original recipients | Aug 18 18:36 |
| schestowitz | > could use “Send This To A Friend“ but that still only gives the friend | Aug 18 18:36 |
| schestowitz | > access to 1 article. | Aug 18 18:36 |
| schestowitz | > | Aug 18 18:36 |
| schestowitz | > Do you agree, or am I being paranoid in my senescence? | Aug 18 18:36 |
| schestowitz | I think that in general terms sending people things to read by email unless they generally asked for it isn't good practice. Because they might be busy doing something else. I always recommend just using RSS feeds and RSS readers. | Aug 18 18:36 |
