Do you really think they don't monitor FR?

I know that they do.

I am sure that every poster on this forum (and many other forums) have been identified. But it's a very long list and "they" are short-staffed. It will be quite a while before they can get around to me - or you.

The only awkward part is that about 25% of those identifications are wrong in essential particulars (like real name and current address). There will be a large number of "Oops" incidents when the strike teams go active.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn had some pertinent comments about that.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat.”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956

Who knew you could delete an FR post? How?
