Well, everything's on his web site (and his blog), but basically he's being leaned on by a company who isn't too thrilled with Dan telling the truth. He's asking some folks to help mirror a file, and since I can't do this myself I thought I'd see if anyone around here could.

I still don't get it. Is this company after publicity? it's not exactly an incriminating document.

That's Dan's exact point - they 'ordered' him to publish it in the first place. So, he did...then proceeded to tear it down into the salient points and seperated the wheat from the chaff, utilising his normal acerbic wit and razor-sharp style. They objected to his truthfulness and now they're trying to threaten him to take the document down.

Needless to say, Dan's taking it in his usual stride.

I've been following the Firepower thing, and Dan in no way needs our help.

He thinks it's funny.

And he think it'd be funnier if more people linked to a copy of the file. So in that vein: http://www.tantryltech.com.au/FP_Pill_07.zip (should finish uploading momentarily)

Ctrl-F5... no wonder I couldnt see it.

He doesn't need our help so much as he's encouraging us to join his cause.

Yes, which is why I'm linking it in this thread and have emailed the link to Dan for mirroring within his comments.

Heh. The damage is in the 'results'. Dan's just pointed out the obvious.

You'd be amazed how often those "results" convince people.

Sadly that is what we have turned our children into. They expect the world to genuflect at their feet. All the pandering to mediocrity from the early years, telling them that they are smart and pretty and special. -plebsmacker
