yes, i did really intend to hide this back in May - i'm not sure why we
are talking about it two months later.

i've followed the radicalpenguins link in the article and cannot find
reference to the Mad Pride website - ah, unless you click on "Go To
Madness".  fair enough.

this article was posted by a notorious troll who now happens to be
moderated on this list and who used the newswire to promote his own
website - very much like an infamous troll we occasionally have problems
with in sheffield.

if the article had been promoting Mad Pride then i believe it would have
stayed but the location of the website is not immediately obvious from the
author's homepage.

yes, this is non news from somebody's homepage - as i originally said.

perhaps you can write an article about Mad Pride itself as i do agree that
the event should get a mention on the newswire.
