@eigenrobot@CoughsOnWombats You put up a good and valiant fight, was with you all the way. No dishonor in moving on and looking after you and your family. Thanks for all the memories.
One consequence of years of less-than-stellar speakers, you started to see backfilled cases by D’s why akshually talking to the lamestream media (or anyone else) wasn’t even important anymore. But I don’t think people really believed that as soon it was no longer useful cope.
