THE PLAY-BY-PLAY · EDITORIAL

Poteto signs off with a promise of more ships from The Ship Company. Tibo counters with a challenge and a link, which is the posting equivalent of forwarding your own press release. Poteto replies that only he can win this battle — a graceful way of declining to compete. Tibo calls it a really quick fold, apparently unaware that the fold was the whole move. The crowd takes the bit too far, with one observer declaring they're flirting instead of shipping good things and another noting a fold before day two of the 28-day challenge. Somewhere in there a plan's usage limit gets compared to the speed of the surrender. Nobody shipped anything; the battle was conceded and the challenger declared victory anyway.

The crowd has notes.

The replies that understood the assignment.

Quick but unfortunately true. The past 2 weeks I’ve been disappointed in the changes and releases and am thinking of moving not just my two accounts but the hundreds of accounts from my company to another provider.
