not sure that this really warranted a blogpost, it's just a repost of an incredibly old image targeted at america anyway, with no discussion of it.

Agreed.
Plus, it doesn't fit properly (at least in my browser).
I think we should use the blog sparingly, for things that really really deserve to stand out from the forum and be on the front page (and when I say 'we' I mean whoever arbitrarily ended up having the ability to post there -- or does any one know the rationale for who gets to post there?).

Later today I'll be sending out an e-mail to all people with the ability to post to the blog, suggesting ways in which we can use the blog more effectively during our campaign.

I don't know, I think it gets the message across fairly well to people who aren't really sure what net neutrality means, and it was certainly the first time I've seen that image.

Likewise, I had never seen this image before even though I feel strongly about the issue at hand. Thanks for posting it.

It's bright, shiny and relevant, good stuff.

Yeah I like it as well. It shows the net being turned into a cable TV style subscription service. It looks like Rupert Murdoch's wet dream.
