The same goes for Black Ink, Twilight Zoned, Thomas Hobbes, and others. It is much easier to keep track of who said what rather than a series of "Anon + Time Stamp"s.<br /><br />Rage, I plan to keep the Lykos bashing off the Chron blog. And I will address the issue of Double Blind line ups and photo spreads in the near future.
