Last weekend the Chinese began spreading my website address across their BBS network and my site is now presently receiving more than 1000 hits per day. This is quite a surprise and I think it's great. http://www.newsmax.invisionenterprise.com/submitware/ http://www.freepgs.com/ledbetter/submitware/ China’s BBS network seems quite alive to me.

People tend to speak a bit looser when online and many people don't know how to hide their tracks online. The Chinese government could potentially be sitting on an information mine when looking for dissidents and malcontents. *shrug* Although I guess, on the flip side, that there's a risk of rebellious statements gaining credence in the eyes of the people because they were not suppressed.
