Good riddance.  The sooner someone gives Julian Assange 230gr of shut
the f*** up, the better.

I find it distressing when Network Operators are willing to encourage DDoS'ing of a site.  Any site.  Especially on 
an operational list, where politics are specifically prohibited.

You don't like Wikileaks, that's between you & Julian.  A DDoS affects the infrastructure of multiple networks, 
users, other websites, etc., etc.  Most people who read the last sentence thought to themselves that is beyond 
obvious.  It is a shame you do not understand it.

Put another way, perhaps you should take your own 230gr.
