Locked out of TechCrunch
I hope to get time (today's hospital visits allowing) to post more fully about this whole TechCrunch UK & Ireland debacle. However, in the mean time, one thing is clear: I have been locked out of the TechCrunch web site's backend Wordpress system.
Update: I hadn't planned on making this public but I feel I need to explain my slow response to the above issue. My wife was diagnosed with cancer, has had an operation and is now undergoing a course of chemotherapy for the next few months. Luckily we are reaching a stage where it will have only limited impact on life once a month, but the next week or so involves a few regular visits. Internet access is tough from hospitals obviously (the cafe here has one, bad, terminal) so I will either wait to post something more fully or see my Twitter page (see column on the left) at twitter.com/mbites for a faster response. If you want to contct me see mbites.com/contact or my previous post.

Meanwhile, don't worry if Techrunch has run its course: Britain's digital movers and shakers eagerly await your next editorial venture.

Only know you through LucyOnly know you through Lucy (Mentoring) and Marshall (former US Techcruncher), but for what it's worth, I wish you the best for your wife and to walk as lightly as is practical to expect. All the rest is pretty much crap compared to one's family.
Thanks very much for all theThanks very much for all the kind comments.
