The Godfather of the Bahraini blogsphere, Mahmood, has just received word that his blog got blocked in Bahrain amongst a number of other blogs. I have to join him in thanking the Bahraini government in giving him such great publicity. Mahmood, they may not be able to read you in Bahrain, but we still can, so please don't stop doing what you are doing.
One of your big fans in Egypt,
SM
Update: The joke is on them. Mahmood immedietly created a blog mirror-site. You can access it here.
They can't stop us. Silly wankers!
