I am currently being threatened by my former employer (they are "compelled [to] take action against [me]") for the way I am running ANN, and how this allegedly violates my employment contract with them ("interfere _in any manner_ with any business relationship between the Company and any of its customers or business partners"). This might entail drastic changes to the relative freedom of speech ANN has always allowed its visitors, or ANN might close down altogether. Updated 10:00 CET.

| No, you didn't. You wanted to make me Resident Manager, but I refused to sign

| Luxembourgish social security laws?

|
| Note that all this wouldn't be necessary if you had paid me on time, and/or

| unwilling to live up to your contractual obligations.
|
| If you have the money to pay expensive lawyers, why didn't (or don't) you
| have the money to actually pay me the money I am owed?

| You were hiding it last year, though.

|
| Maybe you shouldn't have hired additional people when you couldn't pay the 30
