> The Guy Fawkes mask that anonymous uses illustrates what? - treason (hope that's not too cryptic)

First 100% agreed with your points.

As a tangent.

BTW, if I ever start a hacktivist group I will use a medieval split tally stick for a logo.

Why?

In 1834, the humble tally stick accomplished what Guy Fawkes was unable to. Look up "1834 parliament tally stick" to see what I mean.

Reminds me of the plot in V for Vendetta. I'm sure we'll hear from some of Anonymous this week, but in regard to hacktivism...just remember, the nail that sticks out gets hammered.

The great irony though was that what caused the Great Fire was burning tally sticks that were the government's half of tax receipts.

There's something deliciously ironic about trying to dispose of tax receipts causing both houses of parliament to be burned to the ground.

Never, never underestimate the humble tally stick ;-)
