An in-person show of fan support for Chapterhouse might begin to give GW some idea of what hatred they have stirred among their ex-customers.

Thanks for the info, weeble1000!

Wow, interesting! Sounds worth taking a trip over to to me

if people could coordinate a day (I'm assuming court is only in session on weekdays?).

Of course, it could be interpreted by GW as fan support of them and not Chapterhouse unless you go wearing Chapterhouse Studios T-Shirts and carrying signs.

Seconded...sorta my shedules a little different, but honestly I would not waste the effort because I want to enjoy my weekend not sit in a court room watching people argueing.

Right.. and honestly have you read any of the transcripts of the conversations that have been taking place so far? I'd rather be spoon-fed my own intestines rather than ensure more than 10 minutes of listening to that..
