It's a historical reference to two internet forum combatants ("Rich" and "Cherry Pie"), who engaged endlessly in what sometimes seemed to be a love-hate relationship.
Much of the flirtin' and fightin' took place on another forum board. As that board went out of business, Rich came here for a while - he was one of our early feature writers. Cherry dropped in ever-so-briefly, and then left. Rich went underground a while after that - perhaps to pursue Cherry in earnest?
