FWIW, BGG and I are not biologically related but we are bro's from different mo's fo sho.
As for Flave, I will admit to not being part of the (recent) inner circle of Flavedom, and I had no idea if he was really banned or just another April Fool's joke.....
I did see where BGG called out Bin but I honestly didn't know if that was real or not.
I consider Flave a friend but other than the 'Fire I haven't talked to him in years(phone, in person, etc.)
