Digital BW, The Print

1)  I haven't reposted or rehashed a single issue.

2)  It got on the nerves of several individuals as soon as it was first 
posted. They either don't care or they would prefer not to know. Too 
bad. That doesn't give them the right to try and shut down the flow of 
information. If it did, anyone could simply complain whenever a topic 
they don't want to hear about comes up (as Gary Brown has tended to do 
for the last 18 months)  and people will shut up.  I won't.
