Staying Productive

Fish in the machine

Since Monday we've published 63 pages (see below) and it's only 6 AM on a Wednesday. As we said at the end of last month, we wish to spend no more time on the people we sued [1, 2, 3], seeing that they repeatedly fail to meet Orders from Judges and thus dig their own graves [pun intended]. They also repeatedly fail to explain who's funding it.

We'll carry on being productive and cover issues they wish to prevent us talking about. Two very reputable institutions recently told us they now reckon Microsoft is somehow funding those SLAPPs against us. █
