Hello,
I finally got round to writing a blog post about the campaign which you can view at the following location:
http://blogs.fsfe.org/pboddie/?p=1314
I've tried to keep up with some of the discussions, and I hope I've managed to avoid misrepresenting anyone's position, but I felt that having read some of the misunderstandings around EOMA68 (some potentially deliberate, I suspect), it would be nice to discuss them all in a single article and to make people aware that the campaign is still taking place and worth supporting.

P.S. I think I'd feel like a narcissist for replying to the thread bearing my own name, but I'd still like to take the opportunity to thank everyone who sent their good wishes at that time - Luke, Manuel, Alexander, Russell, plus any others - and special thanks are due to my brother for supporting me in what has been a difficult time. Hopefully, like EOMA68, I have recovered from adversity (or have at least gone a fair way down the path of recovery) and will be able to participate a bit more in future.
