Dennis: have you thought about your next article? The blogosphere is aquiver with anticipation as to where you'll take this story next. Here is something I've been researching. Did you realize that "Digistan" is perhaps meant to sound like "Dagestan", a well-known islamic republic? I found that:"93% percent of Dagestan's population is Muslim..." and "There is a millennia-old presence of a Jewish community, the "Mountain Jews".
Also that "Since 2000, Dagestan has been the venue of a low-level guerilla war, bleeding over from Chechnya; the fighting has claimed the lives of hundreds of federal servicemen and officials – mostly members of local police forces – as well as many Dagestani national rebels and civilians."
Surely this is no coincidence...? I suspect we're only a step away from seeing the Dagestani government lobbying in Brussels to get MSFT hit with huge fines. I'd be careful about misunderestimating the Dagestanis, they look really mean.
Please keep up the excellent work and don't make us wait too long for your next insightful commentary!
Yours respectfully

Dennis, did you see your post got quoted on fark.com? You're very popular, keep up the great work!!! May 16 04:51 AMGoogle, IBM, Red Hat, Sun and the Digistan Connection [view article]
Dennis, I've been thinking and the more I think the more what you say makes sense. It seems there are some trolls here, don't respond to them, i've seen people like this on other forums, they usually get boared and go away.So i had two ideas. Tell me what you think. Why don't you make like a Dennis Byron Declaration, explain why international law proves governments should stay the heck away from business, and how that whole business of human rights and the rule of law is way overrated.
Second, let's start an anti-Digistan group. I checked, and microserfia.org is available. With your writing skills and my enthusiasm i'm sure it'll be a hit.
We need to move fast cause those Digistanis seem to be everywhere. Did you read on CNN how Iranistan, Cubastan, and North Koreastan are sending money to anti-MSFT groups around the world? Why do only terrorists hate Windows? Windows represents all that is good and great with US democracy. I think we have to get organized NOW. Email me, let's discuss.

WOW
Those Persians have infiltrated our English language. Actually my research shows that 'sta' is INDO EUROPEAN! How bad can it get? What a lack of respect...
I propose a ban on all words containing 'sta', starting immediately!
Once again, thank you for highlighting this insidious infiltration of our heritage. May 15 02:38 PM

Dennis, thanks for the insightful and well-researched post. I'm incensed that volunteers would waste their time organizing something as radical and inflamatory as digitstan, obviously using tax payers money to do it. Presumably Euros, not Dollars, since as you point out Digistad seems to be a european venture. A lot of the signatories on the declaration page seem to be from around the world... probably misled ex-colonials wishing the US army would come to save them from free software radicals. Send Vista, not bombs!But seriously I agree it's time to tackle these dangerous radicals head on. Keep writing your blog posts, it's going to expose those mostly European individuals who work for the vast left wing anarchoterrorist conspiracy to waste US tax payers dollars for their own professional reasons.
Keep it up! Can't wait till your next post.
Your avid fan
