I grasp that your paragraph starting with “From this moment on…” is a pledge you are inviting the blogosphere to take.

I think it would be great for NZ Bear, sometime between now and the Olympics, to invite bloggers in the Ecosystem to write a post containing either the phrase, “I will blog the Olympics” or the phrase “I will not blog the Olympics”

Better still, it would be great for bloggers to put this on their blogs…

胡先生, 请去除这个防火墙。

This is simplified Chinese for “Mr. Hu, please remove this firewall.” I tried translating “Mr. Hu, tear down this firewall,” but the translator kept thinking tear was a noun instead of a verb. Perhaps saying please can go along with the decrease in onerousness of the recent agreements.
