==Criticism==
Owner Mark Devlin was also involved in the controversy of convicted drug smuggler Nick Baker. From the Misplaced Pages entry on Nick Baker we read of a possible libel suit against Devlin…
“In November 2004, after Devlin had emailed a 30-page document entitled "The Nick Baker Deception" to other media and supporters, Iris Baker called him a spammer and claimed he had harvested emails from the support site. Since Devlin claimed she had "suppressed information"; "deceived the media and the public" and made "anti-Japanese statements" she also invited Devlin to make these claims whilst in the UK so that she may proceed with a libel action. Devlin said Iris Baker's claims were "ludicrous". To date no libel suit has been filed.”
