  1. This is an excellent initiative.

    Kudos to Wired868, Mr Sean Powder, Mr Earl Best and all the many other individuals who are working both in the forefront and behind-the-scenes to make this noble enterprise an outstanding success.

    The nation owes all of you a debt of gratitude. Your patriotism is beyond question.
