IOW, it doesn't matter how much the fans agitate, this is not going to happen. Peace, Bob ---------------------------------------------------------- Actually...belay everything I just said. In the 24 hours between the time I composed the prior note, and sent it, and it made its way through the moderation software, two things happened: 1) I heard from a trusted source that Paramount is giving the Trek TV world a rest for maybe one to two years, depending on circumstances, no matter who would come along to run it. So it's not right to have folks putting in time doing something that ultimately would be pointless, I don't think that's a proper use of anybody's time. 2) At the same time as the above, an offer came in to run a new TV series for fall of '06, and since there's no way anything Trek can happen in the interim, I've said yes (now we have to negotiate the deal, but that should be fairly straightforward). So on two counts, the whole thing is kind of moot. We can reconvene a year or two down the road to see where this takes us, but in the interim...my apologies for waking everybody up in the middle of the night. As you were. Thanks and with great chagrinedness -- jms
