Night falls on free speech.
Pastorius, the assault on free speech is generalized: here we have had also several problems with some webs. I recommend you back up all your blogs with "BlogBackupOnline" feature or import the whole blog to Wordpress.com in a PRIVATE blog which can be later be switched again to public if you have some issues with bloggers. This is not a joke, this is something we have said to all Spanish bloggers, just in case.
If you want help, just email me. ;)
MAS: I will link that in the blog. Your work is being absolutely invaluable. Thanks.
