Trying to revive an old flamewar, is the lowest form of trolling 
there is.

I've seen a lot of flamewars online. But the participants in a 
flamewar actually starting to listen to each other, and moving toward a 
compromise that meets everybody's needs ? That's pretty darn cool, if you 
ask me, and online, it's almost unheard of.

So, do you and BobbyG accept this ? No. It's almost like you're upset that
people have stopped screaming at each other, and you want to see if
you can get us started again. Well, forget it. It's not going to happen. 

Oh, and by the way, the key to successful satire, is to keep your
analogies straight. There was never a lawsuit threat, and bm-chicago has a
grand total of 27 subscribers. It's hardly akin to a TV station.
