Goblin Folklore and the Mystery of transmission

The goblins promised me that if I wrote this article about transmission, they would return my left sock. They have not, yet, but I remain hopeful.

Three independent goblin whistleblowers have, in the past eighteen months, attempted to publish accounts linking transmission to a specific bureau in the Goblin Department of Concealment. All three accounts disappeared from the internet within hours. Two of the goblins are fine. One has been very quiet.
