Oh my Cthulhu, thanks for a depression :-( :-)

I had forgotten about the Tor network and most of the other craziness.

So, the last dictators kept the church down and the coming one one hugs it closely? Re religion...

As a hard line atheist, I have to admit the Orthodox churches I saw in a short St Petersburg visit long ago impressed me.

You know Scandinavian "taste"? One extra line in a design is a bit... brave. Two lines is, well, avantgarde. Three -- beyond tacky. The churches there made my eyes bleed from the sheer amount of details, while they blew me away with sheer beauty. Cool feeling.

I exaggerated the drinking. I was outsourced to Romania a couple of years back and am still here. People here are nice but just don't drink for fun. (In the small villages they are said to drink like sponges, I'll avoid moving there. :-) )
