I think there are many who try to read every scribbling on this thread. I know I do. I do accidently miss now and then, but it's purely by accident.
Everybody here does so good.

Swedish authorities have delayed action on the Assange case while they continue their 'investigation'. They said they wouldn't report until August at the earliest. Their case is rape allegations against Assange.
A Swedish judge blocked the prosecutor's request to question, and extradite Assange from the UK. Then the prosecutors decided to continue their investigation. Was this a face-saving action for the prosecutors? Evidently, the statute of limitations for the Swedish case runs out in 2020.
Back in Ol' Blighty, Assange is about 12 weeks into serving a 50-week sentence for jumping bail in 2012. His next appearance will be in court on Friday via video. He is too ill to appear in person. The hearing is on his extradition and observers expect that the court will set a date for his full hearing, but make no decisions on the extradition itself. Brit prosecutors have certified the US extradition request as 'valid' but a judge will make the final determination whether to honor it.
