That's two Infowars links in the same day, guys. Are you trying to turn away what little intelligent traffic we're getting here?

I really like it here, but if this is going to be a conspiracy site I'm not going to stick around.

The link in the summary doesn't work as it has put a ] on the end.

No, no, I meant this was the second such link after the preceding Intel VPro article, which was built around Infowars crapola.

Editor here: your point is well taken. I paused, but thought it would be worse to not submit a link an author had taken the time to post to the pipeline. Hopefully, when we get more submissions coming in this will be less of an issue. I too would like this to not be a site that simply mirrors the infowars site (or any other site, for that matter). But today, that's what the pipeline mailman carried in.

Would love some of your article proposals, by the way - we're trying to publish just about everything that comes in that is serious.

Thanks, I did one. :) Hasn't made it to the FP yet.

Lavabit? Man, isn't that only one step removed from the NSA and Intel snoop chip stories? I'll post it a bit later tonight.

Yes, you're quite right. :) But at least this one is real, involving someone who really did (it seems) get pressured by the feds.

Still, please don't publish it if you don't like it / think it's worthy. No skin off my nose. I'd rather see this place keep good editorial control. I was mainly impressed by the crypto angle. Delete away!

Let me see if I can work some magic. I really want to encourage people to post articles and anyone who takes the time to do so clearly feels it's a worthwhile thing to discuss. When editors start deleting articles, readers stop taking the time to contribute and the sense of cameraderie takes a hit.
