Hey! Stuntman, great to see you re-appear! As I said earlier I would be glad to help, but don't have time this evening. I will read it and let you have some feedback tomorrow. Can you log on tomorrow and keep in touch?

ps how do you like the rest of the h2g2 site?

Entry: The History of the Principality of Sealand - A51938292
Author: stuntman79 - U13883224

So, how about it, stuntman?

Hi Stuntman hope you get round to this some time soon its a great article about something i knew a little bit - its not too complicated but detailed.

To either stuntman or anyone else here what is the actualy legal status of these micronations - since its apparently not recognised by other countries. Does this mean its passports aren't recognised - and what makes some little islands be recognised (or structures that appear to be similar in principle to little islands.

Sorry wanted to ask the quesstions - im too impatient to wait for it to enter the edited guide

Hi. Good entry. And we could do with an article on Sealand (and other micronations).



I've read up a bit on Sealand before. There was at one time an effort to construct a massive data-hosting base there. You could buy space on their servers and use it to store your data in a secure location. The company paid the Sealand government quite a bit for the space, and were in the process of construction when they were wiped out by the fire. I believe they later went bankrupt.

There's a discussion with the head of the company archived somewhere on Slashdot, I believe.

TRiG.

Stuntman appears to have done an after all

Flea Market?

Flea Market - Agreed

I'll add it to the list.

I'm re-sending the list I sent two weeks ago as well, because I don't think the Eds noticed it. Or they've just been too busy to do anything about it...

Was it received?

Yes, I got a copy of it... (I sent it to the Scouts list.)

The thing is that with all those Entries in there, it looks like we're quite safe, but without them, we're down to two dots

It just might encourage a few others to get writing again


I'm away to bed now, love.. Sleep tight when you get there

Good night

I'll send the list again, and directly to the Eds this time. Maybe I'll get a reply, at least.
