1. Since Cecil is affiliated with The Chicago Reader, how would that impact him? Would he then become a GOOGLE employee?

I can’t imagine why. For all intents and purposes, **Cecil ** has nothing to do with the SDMB, except as an occasional poster.

except as an occasional poster.

… generous much?

It is an interesting question as to who owns what. Does Ed Zotti own the board in that it’s originally an outgrowth of his articles or does the Reader? I suspect the Reader holds the whip hand in this scenario.

The Death of Knowledge Foretold

I met a poster from an antique land of heat
Who said: 'A drunk and legless man of wit
Lies in Chicago. See him, on the street,
Half-cut, a shattered visage there, unfit
Through hookers, blow and Scotch all neat
To answer queries for the column now.
His faculties of yore are missed, they’ve evanesced
Into the mists of time (and how!).
And on his nametag these words appear —
“My name is Zotti, Wisest Sage of All:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. The server broke
On that colossal wreck. The threads now bare,
The posts are gone, no searches will invoke.

Meanwhile, a bulletin board “dedicated to horses (in dutch)” is at 16th place with 181675 posts in the last week.

Compare SDMB’s approx. 950 posts in the last week.

Is there really that much to say about horses? In dutch?

-FrL-

Depends…

What’s the Dutch word for treadmill?

Depends…

What’s the Dutch word for treadmill?

Or glue?

As someone who just finished her midterm Romantic Poetry and Prose exam, I think I love you.
