Block Heads

Well, it had to happen didn't it...?

It appears that Rio has blocked us on their computers!!

We got an email from Rio Tinto's IT section the other day. It had no subject heading and nothing in the email. Just a signature with name and contact details.

So, why the blank email?

Well, probably just to check to see if this site's email is active. Here, let me save you fellas the hassle - YEP, WE'RE ACTIVE!

And here's another bit of free info:

Once you deny people the right to access something they will seek it out with more vengeance. And what the hell is Rio afraid of ... free speech? Complaints? Their workers?


Log on ... and listen.

Blocking a website at work won't stop access. Quite the opposite. You can dismiss the comments if you will, but you won't dismiss the desire for uncensored communication amongst those who have chosen to make a home in this town.

Feel free to comment ... you're quite welcome.

And get this ... there's no restrictions.
