A Nice Development

When we reported on Johann's sad story we had very little hope that Georg and his club would be brought to justice, but we are pleased to announce that the police after reading our report on Johann's experience took upon them the initiative to inspect all scrapbooking clubs in Geneva. The Swiss pride themselves on being safe, and they have some of the toughest brad control laws ever created. In their raids they found one club to be "purveying brads without a license" and closed the club down. Its owner now faces several counts of brad crime and could face a stiff fine and a lengthy jail term. Johann confirmed to us that the club that was raided was the club where he was introduced to brads, so we're pleased that Johann's experience wasn't in vain. Not only did we get to use his experience as a warning to our other supporters, but we closed down the club where he was tainted. At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not pleased with progress, however incremental!
