  4. Looking forward to your next media venture, which I sincerely hope is Real World: Autostraddle.

    –In which people behave humanely, say things that are smart and funny, and resolve conflict peacefully.

    –And thus the revolution will be televised.

    Yay and congratulations to everybody!
