Is there a discussion thread for the Chronicle article? That article is surprisingly good news for us. I didn't expect circumvention of the ban to be covered at all in the mainstream media. Is the Chronicle the main paper in the SF area, or a lesser one?

I don't think the chronicle article has been discussed. I just read it yesterday.

The Chronicle is the biggest/most respected SF newspaper, and (I'm speculating here) is also the biggest Bay Area newspaper.

I was very pleased to read the article fwiw.

That's what I thought. Great news, and great find. At least we'll still have the casual players from the Bay Area for a while.

Updated with these new articles.

Also started using a <font color="red">NEW</font> tag to designate those most recently added.

I think a discussion thread on the Chronicle article would certainly be warranted. When one is started I'll link it up there...
