We would like to invite our readership to speculate about who is who?
Update:
All you need to do is give Perry a nice cat and he immediately reveals himself to be a complete softie.

We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

What was the prize again?
The real contest is the indentity of the Palm-wielding pair o’ hands in the extreme southeast.
I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together. And this is damn fine bottle of wine.
Nice to put faces to names, especially as I recently put a voice to the name of Adriana when I caught a podcast on business blogging (ahhh, so that’s how you pronouce Lukas).
So, who is the camera shy poseur with the PDA?
Ummm…. lemme see… L-R?
Po, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and…umm… the voice from the speaking tube?
Time for Teletubbies…. Time for Teletubbies
Thw palm pilot wielding pair of hands is not a Samizdatista per soe, although he is well known in the commentariat. If he wishes to reveal himself, thien this is up to him…..
T’was a good evening (at my place in fact) as these things go….
Five pathetic wankers, from whom the silence on the the debacle in Iraq is positively thunderous.
GWB is reduced to being the butt of horse wanking jokes by his wife, Iraq is on the verge of civil war, more Iraqis are being killed by the occupying forces and the insurgents than were killed by Saddam. More children are malnourished than during the Saddam era. Clean water, regular electricity service and working sewers are but a fond memory of a few years ago, when Saddam ruled the land.
Yeah, that whole let’s invade a country that is NO DANGER to us and had NO INVOLVEMENT IN 9/11 WHATSOEVER is working out really well, isn’t it.
Clap harder, boys and girls, and shout louder about how this quagmire, this meatgrinder, is such a wonderful example of “Libertarian” thought and practice.
Er…Bob, go away. Your presumptions about the conditions in Iraq, both before and after the war are distorted, as is your presumptions about “Libertarian thought.” About the picture, Perry’s hair is a dead-giveaway, and so is Brian’s camera. Clueless about the rest.
Bob: Saddam Hussein was amongst the world’s nastier dictators. Whatever else may or may not have been found in Iraq, a great many mass graves were found. No more are now being dug. The world is a far better place for his demise. If your distaste for civilization is such that you cannot see this, then I think that quite frankly you should go and fuck yourself.
Oh! A beautiful cat with a servant who knows his place! Allowed to lie on the cat’s bed!!! We must respect Perry for his wiles …
Slightly? You all look completely sozzled! Bar Perry who appears to be…text messaging?? Was he the bored skipper or something?
Ooh, I see a PDA in action in the lower right corner. A working pissup, then.
Bob : you and your pathetic bunch of limp wristed peace-at-any-costniks should be the silent ones. There’s more hope in Iraq now than there’s been for many decades. The war that you all said was “illegal” and “immoral” has actually made the future of a country (and a region) a lot brighter. You should feel foolish, admit your mistake, admit that things are actually looking a lot better in Iraq, admit that maybe, just maybe, GWB was RIGHT. Oh dear, that hurts, doesn’t it? “That idiot” Bush was right. Yep, the stumblin’ bumblin’ straight shootin’ cowboy hick was smarter than you and the bunch of pseudo-intellectual curmudgeons that make up your ideological brothers. Yes, it hurts too much. Far better to pretend that Iraq’s going to hell in a hand basket, pretend that you weren’t utterly mistaken – pretend you were right. Well, you were WRONG, you’re the pathetic wanker and you should shut the hell up. After apologising for your lack of intelligence.
Holy crap, suffering, you’re coming down harder than I’ve ever seen you.
That cat looks like a clone of my own cat. The resemblance is amazing really.
25 million people can now vote in Iraq.
And does that really say “Politically Incorrect” on that tee shirt?
Sometimes I have the urge to go nuclear, Winzeler.
Cats rule!
Verity’s revved up over this post, too.
Well said, Mr Jennings. Exactly what Saddamites deserve.
I wish Michael would go back to his weekly posting of a cat.
Everybody with a cup of wine in hand except Brian who is never off duty.
A nice white cat, but I searched around the flat and could not find Ernst Blofeld.
Bob, I think you need a drink.
what? no picture of Phillip C? He’s so hot…
