An apology

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not dedicated to the correct dissemination of knowledge, which is why it pains us greatly that we have been unable to post to this forum for the last couple of days.  We would like to reassure you all that we are not abandoning our quest for the New Future, nor are we ignoring our faithful supporters, but, with all the activity the New Company has been engaging in there has not been enough time for us to post anything meaningful on this site.  In addition to tracking the New Company's recent activity we have also been interviewing the candidates for membership in the Board of Dictators that passed the first round, and we have been investigating the allegations that "Edgar," whose relationship to us is so complex that we hesitate to try to explain it in this very concise post, has been involved in the attack on our offices in Yakima recently.

We can categorically state at this time that the New Company's recent activity was an attempt at a DoS attack aimed at keeping our operatives so busy that we wouldn't notice some of the things they were up to.  While their activities did produce enough load on our infrastructure that we had to scale back these posts, they were not sufficient to interrupt our intelligence operations.  We will work to address the inadequacies that led to the temporary lack of information here, but otherwise we give our organization high marks for its response to this incident.

As far as our other tasks go, we have interviewed each of the candidates and will now put them through the obstacle course to see how they fare there.  As of this moment they are all still in the running, but we'll keep you posted.  As for the allegations about "Edgar" we are still unable to clear him completely, but we have our reservations.  It appears that he might have been framed, or if he wasn't framed, perhaps he botched the job pretty badly himself.  We wish we could give a more definite answer, but at this time it is impossible to do so.
