Just wondering at the new trend - The internal security memos from
SI and Maxim, etc... I'm just wondering... does it mean those corps are using
Shadowland to route their internal messages, or is it just artistic licence.
Now, I _Like_ those posts, don't get me wrong, but I just wonder at the
mechanics behind it. I mean, back a while ago, I had some unidentified Azzie
higher ups discussing Vargas when he kidnapped Ryuga - But that was on purpose,
they were using Shadowland because they didn't trust their internal
communications (Internal politics can be such fun). We all go to quite
complicated lengths to get pieces of plot not directly postable as character's
comments under way - Like Trideo Pirate's news cuttings, Rumormonger's vid
postings, a while ago there was a Decker that had a dataworm in the Maxim
mainframe and was leaking their internal communications to Shadowland.

Just going ahead and posting them 'just like that' seems... too easy.

DISCLAIMER: This is not a criticism. It's just an opinion. A comment.
