There is the possibility that 6A wants LJ because Google is handing their entrails to them. It may be an act of desperation, and maybe they think that something like LJ is the only thing that can bail them out. If that is the case, then Brad is probably the one with the power in this deal. They need him, but he doesn't need them. More accurately, they need the LJ user base, but do they have the good sense to run the place in a way that would keep us happy? As they have been dumb enough to have just been blindsided by Google, I do have some doubt.
