My friend Sindre recognised some of the words and likes to think that this is a college radical group of some kind, using my name as some kind of a code. I don't know. While I know the Czechs have a tendency to fixate upon solitary, negativistic American "literary" rockers, notably Lou Reed, that particular scenario seems hard to believe, especially as palindromerecorder goes to the same strange site. But what is this place? A password-entry site in Czechoslovakia using my name AND my business name? In Czech? Truly strange. I expect it's a vast, whale-like mechanism, slowly moving through the web, inhaling little-used domains like plankton for some unknown use. I;ve emailed the Webmaster, but havent received nor do I really expect an answer. Sindre is a journalist who is going to ask one of his Eastern European colleagues for help translating the entry text, so maybe I'll get at least the glimmering of an answer.
Or, Brent, I hereby authorise you to act as my agent in this matter, as you seem to know your way around.
I think this is an interesting and engaging mystery, and will be saddened when we find out it's all just an accident. I sort of like the idea of being a patron saint to a doomed cell of clever post-adolescent radicals.
But the truth above all, ever and always,
