I'm sure a big reason for the absence of an outcry is that it would have happened gradually -- I remember that "Days of Our Lives" lost about a minute during the years I was regularly closed-captioning it (1999 to 2005), which took it from about 39:30 to 38:30. -- Jim Ellwanger <[email protected]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> -- TV or Not TV ....
