But Openshaw interrupted questioning about a web forum containing posts by alleged Islamist radicals, saying that he did not fully understand some of the terms involved.
"The trouble is I don't understand the language. I don't really understand what a website is," he told the court.
"I haven't quite grasped the concepts."

Younes Tsouli, 23, Waseem Mughal, 24, and Tariq al-Daour, 21, all deny inciting another person to commit an act of terrorism "wholly or partly" outside Britain.
Tsouli and Mughal are also charged with conspiracy to murder, and Al-Daour for conspiring with others to defraud.
