This is such a big story I think it deserves it's own thread. Keeping all of the info in one place where people can find it. I have gone back to some of the open threads and pulled links from there to add here to give a kind of timeline from last weekend forward... Feel free to add to the list....

Originally the leak was reported to have contained about 1+ terabytes of information.

Is it possible that we could have a day without a post about............

When Billmon and Steve Gilliard left............

I followed them over to their virtual places, and I don't remember too many continual references to their former home.

Steve died in 2007 after a wonderful run, and Billmon's place was aflame until he decided to call time.

We can survive without ............
