Well I think the Star of David has so many meanings that the message may get
muddled. Seems like busy sites can support the mirror of their choice by
putting a note such as "This is a Radikal site". The "mispelling" is the medium.

Tell two people. Put up a mirror. Add a link on a busy page. Did I miss

I _can_ _access_ www.xs4all.nl _from_ _inside_ _Germany_.

PS: using 3 different routes (accounts).

Not having any accounts inside Germany, I can only say what I hear from the

Yes off course. Read this (from press-release xs4all.nl):

Xs4all Internet will rotate the IP-numbering of the website
www.xs4all.nl
to ensure that it's 3100 userpages will all remain available for any
internet-user.
