interesting question
Ed was doghoused all right. Yet you know I'm a sucker for sentiments like "I'd actually prefer the EP on good behavior participating than no EP at all." I'm inclined to wait and see how it goes.
BTW, if you missed it, I posted a relayed message from Ed on Community, all about the old "Marvin the Martian" dispute. It wasn't intended to mark Ed's return, but it may have seemed like it. As I sow so shall I reap, so now, as I said, I'm inclined to see what Robert hath wrought. The experiment continues.
