At Reddit, about Birth Certificates. Just correcting some misconceptions, errors of fact. Though there's the usual insults embedded there too. Meh.
Then at the Wilkes Beacon, where an unusually obnoxious and ill-informed "opinion piece" sparked off a flurry of letters correcting the writer's mis-statements of fact. The word is getting out, and it's no longer socially acceptable to repeat the same old canards, the same old slanders. Not without them being opposed.
Intermittent postings from Canberra, Australia on Software Development, Space, Politics, and Interesting URLs.
And of course, Brains...

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
Garbage by style, garbage by content, I mean that Beacon crap of course. Bleh...
