I'm thinking about taking all the posts out of the archive and pasting them into the new thread. Should I?
You're a wild man! I say, go for it!! However, create a new junk email addy, username, etc. before doing so :)
Nah. Don't do that. You know that she's ready to pull the entire blog. Instead, just put a link to the archive in the new Duke Lacrosse (7/24) comments. That'll do the trick without antagonizing her to the point that she'll shut it down.
But someone should save those comments (especially those great poems) to a safe hard drive.
Just my opinion.
