[Chapter-delegates] Net purity verification & monitoring system (was re[2]: blogspot down in India)

[Chris Grundemann]

Hi Niel,

I wrote about a similar idea around two years ago; those who have not
read the post may find it interesting:
http://weblog.chrisgrundemann.com/index.php/2009/crowdsourcing-for-internet-transperancy/.
Also, if there are interested parties, I am still myself interested in
exploring this concept further (if only there were more hours in the
day, I might have already done something with it)...

Cheers,
~Chris
