This is the classic notion that any publicity is good publicity. I wanted to go on record as ignoring the goings on from this point forward and putting my attention elsewhere. Where it's more highly valued. Todd, you make an excellent point and one I’ve been very conscious of – talking about things gives them power.

Gillmor gets attention. In addition to having the validation (and cash) from a major company, the Earthlink ads are getting the advertiser and the Gillmor Gang 1,000+ times the coverage they would get otherwise. And at the end of the day, the spot takes up 30 seconds of an hour plus show, that's a hell of a value ratio in my book.

Thank you for articulating this. And yet, because of that "impending void," I listened to today's Randum Gang anyway. I'll stay tuned here to learn of any replacement avenues for the same type of strategic discussion that is possible but seldom realized anymore by a Gillmor dominated Gang.
