Admirable indeed. But perhaps your suggestion may constitute more an iatrogenic artifact ... or even be one source of Alan's affliction. At a tangent, I just watched Slumdog Millionaire and Frost/Nixon. Both depict events/mileux with "10 - 12%"* fiction thrown in. That's all very well, but, short of subtitles indicating the 10 - 12%, for me this undermines a considerable chunk of the value of the movie. (It's not even as if the fictitious drunken phone call Nixon made in the film added a great deal to his portrayal.) At a further tangent, I'm waiting for truly interactive tv: one can pose questions etc. to producers, experts etc. as one watches. The chat would run MTV-style at the bottom of the screen. john g *Quote from the real David frost. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Persons posting messages to not_honyaku assume all responsibility for their messages.
