Great thread. But who is "Nick Szabo"?( that's a lot of "aka's" listed there )
Andrew N Szabo, ~48
Madison, WI
Known also: Andrew Nicholas Szabo · Alexander Szabo · Andrew A Szabo · Andrew E Szabo · Alexander Azabo · Nicholas Szabo
Lived in: Madison, WI · Providence, RI · Cupertino, CA · Somerville, MA · Etna, NH
Related to: Andreas Kammer ~42 · Nicholas Szabo ~84 · Alexander Szabo ~52 · Marcia Szabo ~82 · Douglas Kammer ~69
You forgot his brother, Frank, the rabbit breeder in Ohio.
That link had me going in circles last year. I finally gave up on trying to decode it? What is your view of its meaning? Why would Nick(Mr. Secret Mystery about himself) have a link with his brothers address in the middle of nowhere on it?

Note: there was also a comment on one of his blogs claiming to be another of Nicks brothers. Nick actually confirmed it in the following post. Nick was talking about the origin of the name Szabo and his brother was talking about their dad or something. I can't find it right now, but I'll keep looking.
Update: Found it. Paul Szabo...http://unenumerated.blogspot.com/2006/10/fifty-years-ago-today.html?m=1
"a crucial event in fighting totalitarianism: rebels took control of a radio station from the communist media monopoly and redubbed it "Magyar Szabad Radio" (Hungarian Free Radio)"

You telling me that Szabo loosely translates to free?
EDIT: It does, for I just scrolled to the comments.
I also found this:

Elsewhere (e.g. Cuba and North Korea) Stockholm syndrome has more thoroughly taken over and the populations have stopped trying to resist.
If you've seen the news today about NK, and already aware about recent events in Cuba, I'd say it's time to spin a certain Dylan 45 right about now.
I'm not sure what I'm saying anymore, all I know is that this is a very fun rabbit hole.
