At Scottish Labour Youth and Student conference this weekend (more on that later) but yet another cybernat has bitten the dust and has been exposed as an advisor to Mike Russell.
The News of the World have the story with stories from the Sunday Herald and Scotland on Sunday also.
In terms of Blog follow up I would recommend Planet Politics, Joan McAlpine and Two Doctors and SNP Tactical Voting who all have different takes on this.
You almost feel sorry for Mike Russell as this overshadows the moment of his political life as he announces his white paper on a referendum.

I have always believed that rational arquement is the most effective means of convincing someone of your views than to produce the online equivalent of the pamphleteers work.
Maybe it has to do with someone writing inside there own home and with a secret alter ego that makes people let loose what they should not.
The trouble with this is that what you write can come and bite you and for these two individuals it has affected them badly costing them jobs and reputation. And of course the SNP looks worse for this, unfortunatly.
Oooh! that hurt
Can we expect your thoughts on the Labour Party's decision to oppose minimum pricing for alcohol.
Calling Mr Murphy a rude name is one thing - allowing Scotland's appalling record of alcohol-induced ill-health, early death, lost working days, domestic violence, and wrecked lives is surely rather more important. A sense of proportion is called for here, I feel.
Why is it always assumed that these nationalists are SNP supporters?
Are all unionists Labour supporters?
come off it comrade, you know the difference between an MSPs office worker and a minsiter's adviser
"You almost feel sorry for Mike Russell as this overshadows the moment of his political life as he announces his white paper on a referendum."
Well, it certainly makes me wonder at the timing... but I'm sure the media have absolutely no interest in making the SNP look bad just for the sake of it.
I hate to let facts get in the way of a Nationalist Conspiracy but this is the first Sunday since the blog he wrote about Euan McColm was published.
