Hello Fred and all,

Here's my two-soon-to-be-obsolete French francs' worth:  I joined this list at a time when Information Warfare was stoking my intellectual curiosity (midst a long bout of unemployment outside the USA), and found it to be both:  a) Highly Technical, and b) somewhat Theoretical (more in my field:  international public law, Internet and Rules of Warfare).

Then all hell broke loose (from a US-centric viewpoint).

And Fred worked very hard to bring us 'information':  whether mainstream, downstream, upstream or dis- ... it was all information, more than I would have had time to read.

Real life info-war, on your/this list.

I am not sure what 'Rob' is referring to as "funny pages," and can certainly presume he wrote that to be lighthearted about it all, but maybe not?  So I again will thank Fred, and respond when questions or issues enter those realms in which I feel I can add something.

Here's one to debate:  link and read;  is this showing signs of truth or disinformation?  
www.cursor.org/stories/civilian_deaths.htm

Seasons' Greetings to all,
Drew
