I suspect that most 'good' postings from behind the great firewall stop at the wall ... it is not reasonable to assume even temporarily that there is no-one with a lot of good content to post there. That is so totally obvious. I assume that if the wall would be taken down by 'mistake' the number of internet users (as in content, blog, technical) would appear to double.
