Do you think important people with the power to stop programs read fornits?
Actually, they do. At the GAO hearings I attended in september, a member of the GAO who I had never met before came up to me to say hi, and told me that he was a fan of my posting on Fornits.
This might be a crazy place, but like Ginger says, it's like porn: everybody reads it, but nobody wants to admit it. WWASP shut their server's hole down within a day. Lon Woodbury, I hear, reads this site religiously.
Maia Szalavitz reads Fornits and gained a lot of interviews for her book through Fornits. Lawyers hang here too as well as LEO types. All sorts read Fornits... though not everybody posts.
I am just wondering why people waste their time preaching to the choir on fornits. You should be emailing all this stuff to people who can do something about it.
Absolutely. doing both is even better!
Instead you post it here and pat yourselves on the back for your great reserarching skills and only 5 people read it and nothing happens.
Ya have a point. But such action has to start someplace. Fornits is great for networking and organizing such action. Maybe not a whole lot is done here directly, but a hell of a lot is started, or sparked here.
