> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Cerri \* > \*\*From what I read, they’re trying to shut Landover down, not help them or affiliate with them. It seems over the top to me too, however. \*\* That’s part of the joke. It’s a supposed anti-Landover site set up by the Landover people. They’re playing both sides at once. Highly amusing. Who says you can’t have three separate conversations in one thread? ---

It’s a supposed anti-Landover site set up by the Landover people. They’re playing both sides at once. Highly amusing.** If it is the same people, they’re certainly doing a good job. The two sites are owned by two different companies on (IIRC) opposite sides of the US. ---
