Finally, after 3 years, 3 months, and 9 days

Glenn Reynolds responded to an email I sent! While I've had a few
Instapundit links before, they were always from carnivals that I hosted. Now, that I'm no longer actively pimping this site, I send him an email (without bothering to include my URL) and get a response.
Original email:
Subject: It's a civil war!
CBS headline: Hamas Appears to be Winning Civil War

Obviously, CBS just didn't get the memo.

Response:
Heh. Thanks.
Post generated as a consequence:
"HAMAS APPEARS TO BE WINNING CIVIL WAR:" Wow, that was fast. Just yesterday we were merely on the brink.
UPDATE: Related item here. "The MSM's reluctance to call the Gaza civil war a civil war --the New York Times this morning refers to 'what is beginning to look increasingly like a civil war'-- is because the Gaza meltdown doesn't fit the tired media narrative that sees America as 'breeding terrorists' in Iraq and the conflict in the Palestinian territories as the result of Israeli oppression." Yeah, this almost looks like terrorism is the preferred tactic of Arab terrorists for reasons of their own, or something.
ANOTHER UPDATE: Okay, now that Mahmoud Abbas is calling it a civil war, can we consider it official?
