Wow, CapitolHillblue.com, there's a blast from the past.
I remember back in 1996, getting online with a 28.8 modem and running Windows 3.1,(LOL about that now) and coming across Doug's site,then National Review,Townhall.com and thinking 'this Internet thing is great'. I remember visiting that site way back when.(That was when most people just put up their lists of 'Favorite Web-sites' they'd come across on their horribly-plain web-pages.LOL) Wow. To think that the Internet is still in the infant stages after less than 15 years, can make one absolutely delirious.

Capitol Hill Blue publisher Doug Thompson terminated plans to sell the web site today after he learned the new owners planned to close ReaderRant on April 30.

The terms of the sale gave Doug the right to review the plans of the new owners and cancel the sale before its completion on April 1. The list of changes included plans to close the bulletin board on April 30. When the purchasers refused to honor his request to leave ReaderRant open and operating in its present form he terminated the sale agreement.

Capitol Hill Blue will remain part of the Doug Thompson Media group of companies.
