The Dave Walker Reposts: An Index, with Comments

As another week draws to a close, I thought it would be useful to have a separate A – Z index of sites where Dave’s missing posts have been reinstated. Whilst the number of sites discussing and reporting the situation keeps on growing (eight pages currently returned by a Google blogsearch for incoming links to this site: thank you to all concerned), there seem to be relatively few that feature the actual missing posts and even less that feature the entire archive.

Apologies for any I’ve missed: please note them in the comments and I’ll add them to the index as soon as possible. For purposes of this index, the leading word ‘The’ is disregarded.

• Are you Dave Walker? Series of posts salvaged by SPCKwatch.

• We are all Dave Walkers now: Sam Norton (Elizaphanian) was one of the first bloggers to raid Google’s cache for posts from June 11th – July 8th… then he got it in the neck from the poor, persecuted Mr J Mark Brewer. The Revd Dr Christian Troll, Mark’s good friend and mentor, believes Mark deserves our sympathy: it’s a tough life as a Texas Attorney and owner of a chain of Christian bookshops, especially when your plans to silence a few bloggers backfire so spectacularly…
• We are all Dave Walkers now: Stephen, blogger at It’s a Rough Trade, Politics, gives a concise and clear introduction to what this campaign is all about and reposts the now well known June/July selection. As he says, “there is far more to this than religion.”
