We met in a chat room.
"Congratulations," I said. "What an upset."
"It was a team effort," he typed back. "The conservative bloggers have been waiting for some time to get Rather and his team."
"How did you find out how weak their line was?" I asked.
He typed back, "As soon as Rather kicked off with the story on "60 Minutes II," I sent a message to 'Tex' Hotrod, Charley Rov and Sam Flyswatter. Then all the papers picked it up and ran with it."
"Is that when Rather called 'time out?"' I asked.
"Yes, but he fumbled and lost control of the ball."
I wrote, "I saw it on television."
"Once the ball started rolling, bloggers from all over the country blitzed Dan. None of us could leave our computers. It was the biggest reaction we've ever had on the Internet. I've gotten e-mails asking me to be on Fox TV, the "Today" show and "Good Morning America," and Peter Jennings wants to make me Person of the Week."
