Who is up for a protest outside Random House/Vermillion (who publish that book) TOMORROW? It will be in London. Possibly wearing gags (silenced by xxx).

Please add your name here and I'll CAT you.

ok st george have tried e-mailing that address.did you get my latest e-mail?

NomDePlume · 09/08/2006 16:07

lol CD !

I think we need to make sure that

a) any vigilante/protest type actions taken by MNers are NOT going to do more harm than good to MN's case if it goes all the way ().

and

b) The protests actually make an impact.

alexsmum - last one I got mentioned no junk mail folder.

You should get an automated reply from the Yahoo group with a link to follow. If everything works right then you will come up on my pending list then in you come (fingers crossed)

Dunno if it's already been mentioned but what about using dummies in your mouths as a gag on the demo. So being shown as being forced to shut up?

There is a reason for doing it so fast and at the location, but it's difficult to give full details here.

Please DON'T spend any money making arragements yet, it isn't confirmed until we know we've got enough people.

I can't CAT, sorry, some problem with my registration (can't get myself a revolutionary name either, sob). Trotsky, can you CAT me?

Alex, get on to the 'MN Demo who is attending thread'! Bet your invite is on the way, it takes a little while to work.

Nah, your email must be spamming them somehow. Let me check exactly what address they come from, then you can make sure you set your controls to allow them through. Hang on.
