Filtered posts

An all-too-common occurence...

Friend #1 - "did you see what fdshdgg wrote about his flatmate?"
Friend #2- "....er, no, I'm on his friends list but it must have been filtered..."
Friend #1 - "er...ooops. Forget I said anything..."

IMO, it's always a good idea to mention that "this post is filtered" - listing exactly who it's filtered to may or may not be overkill. Your call.

But either is likely to help avoid the awkward situation where people on your friends list assume other people on your friends list saw the same posts they did...

"The information flowing from those at Guantanamo Bay is important in terms of the war against terrorism and we can't over look that."

So says a UK government spokesman when asked about getting Moazzam Begg and Feroz Abbasi repatriated for trial in the UK.

Er... but... the USA is talking about executing some of these men, if found guilty. Presumably that means that, in the eyes of their captors, they have no useful information left. Or will the US Army continue to interrogate them via Ouija board?

Oh, and...

No, I wasn't at Heresy tonight after all. Too hot by far, not paid 'til Friday and really not in the mood for it.

Off to bed now. G'night.
