Not to rain on anyone's parade, but Brandt seems disinclined to acquiesce to our request:
"Your question is so hypothetical that it boggles my mind, and I cannot even think about an answer at this point. It is true that last December I took down Hivemind. I'd still be inclined to do that, because now I'm more interested in Hive2 and the IRC search engine. In another six months, who knows what I'll be doing on Wikipedia-Watch?"

What exactly is the point of negotiating with him to take down the original Hivemind page if he plans to continue with his *other* activities?
