   Then again, it could just be the traditional post by the Group   
   Leech/Annoyance (at whichever group you might happen to be), who, at   
   this traditional point in the group evolution, says, "Hey, how come you   
   guys aren't writing no more interesting posts for me to read?"...   
   Which more than speaks volumes for the quality of his interaction in the   
   past.  ;)   
      
   As for me, I'm weighing options besides Google once Verizon joins the   
   party-poopers, and still looking forward to Boxset XVI in December.
