I figure that SnF has let it go.. They would be happy leaving it as
status
quo- i.e. no zoom at SnF. Zoom's the one who can't give it up.

My guess is that SnF would probably drop the ban if Zoom behaved nicely
for a few years and stopped publishing the annual series of anti-SnF
pieces. Today's selection was pitiful at best, with ANN taking plenty of
implied shots at SnF just in the tone of their articles.

Unless you don't believe the ANN story about them taping multiple copies
of
the ban to the door of the ANN office, then you can't believe they have
dropped it. Even if the story is embellished, it would be best for them
to
use a process server or professional delivery service rather than tape.


I don't think SnF sent Zoom a notice reminding him that he was banned from
the
show last year. And, of course, Zoom entered SnF grounds, despite the
fact that
the ban was still valid, and despite the fact that he had an ongoing
lawsuit
against the organization. I don't blame SnF for sending a reminder this
year.

Whether SnF or "parties unknown" were responsible for the alleged
multiple-copy
delivery, we'll probably never know. Like the "unwanted poster" Richard
mentioned, I bet it becomes a real collector's item....

I am certainly not the most educated guy on the history of these antics, but
it has always seemed to me that SnF, or related parties, didn't handle it
well. Not that Zoom was not at fault, but fixing his behavior isn't going
to happen. The crux of Zoom's argument is that the airport is public
property or some sort of whining. At any rate, fighting fire with fire
would seem to be the best plan. Get his idiocy on video, and post it to the
net.


I'm surprised it hasn't been done already.
