  - I don’t think it’s impeachable and 100% know it wouldn’t work. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 07:54
  - Probably, though I’d need some convincing it warrants impeachment. -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 07:46 3

    - Pick your prejudice! Hey, isn't this all moot anyway depending on where the good follows land? Or will they stay on Twitter? -- nm - con_carne Nov 19, 10:14
  - I mean, I get that. Even in my nostalgic idealism, I know I’m not going back to an era of blogger before Google. -- nm - Qale Nov 18, 21:51 4
    - But what I mean is, I don't know what this particular product launch is for. What it does, what the value is. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 21:56 3
      - No one knows. -- nm - Queens of the Stone Age Nov 18, 22:17 2

Ticketmaster part trois: We're sorry, again -- (link) - budice Nov 18, 20:33 6
- That was such a non-explanation as to why there were no tickets left for the general public. Why weren't there tickets held to be sold - Krusty Nov 19, 04:41
- I think they make a strong case that it wasn’t resellers, just a hella lot of traffic. - Mop Nov 18, 22:07 2
