    Will the last one out turn off the lights?

    Nice. Based on that setup, anyone who gets nudged out the door from that point on will be deemed by Zell's Angels to have been unproductive.

    Once again: Do those who wanted to give Zell the benefit of the doubt months ago care to show up here now?

    I hope he rots in hell.

    As the vital oversight duty of the nation's major metro press deteriorates further . . .

    all part of the grand scheme, don't you think?

    There are certain factions cheering for this possibility, yes.

    If you can't beat 'em, you buy 'em up and choke 'em off.

    BYH, I was one of those who, way back when, thought perhaps a completely new perspective might be a good thing.

    Obviously, I was totally wrong.

    Me too. And I'm pretty sure I've said this before as well. But now - yikes.

    BYH, you know you're my boy, but that's about the third time you've called for Zell's orginal defenders to show themselves in the public square to accept their 50 lashes of humiliation.

    Enough. You've made your point.

    sorry, it wasn't about 50 lashes of humiliation.

    Not sure what it was about, except me just being disgusted with Zell and the industry.

    Apologies all around.

    I gave him the benefit of the doubt, if for no other reason than having him buy my 8,000 shares at $34/share sure beat watching them drop to $10/share (or worse).

    Was I wrong? I guess. But we were fucked either way. And it wasn't like he needed a green light from us to buy the company.
