Just a side-note: Rensys has an interesting blog article up today on this Atrivo/Intercage "mess": http://www.renesys.com/blog/2008/09/internet_vigilantism_1.shtml FYI,
I have but one comment. There is a difference between Vigilantism as it is perceived today and Vigilantism as it is in the dictionary. It means neighborhood watch. When the Police is not around, that is something you need. "It's for the children". All in all, very nice blog post. While I feel I can not yet fully comment on the whole Atrivo / Intercage depeering movement, there is an underlying strategy to consider. I will comment at a later date. Gadi.
