Duh, there's a fanclub?  How can I find out more about it?  :::running:::

Jesting aside, Captain Infinity later in the day implied that you canned 
Claudia when he said:

>Actually, it made me wonder if leaving was her choice.

I'm going to speak as I would to a friend, Joe.  You responded to him.  
Don't go there.

The situation's dead, gone, and in the past.  Yes, there are people who 
won't ever believe you, and who won't accept that you wrote two seasons 
worth of episodes yourself, and on and on, but the vast majority of us  
accept what you and so many other castmembers reported about the incident 
with Claudia.  Life's too short, and you don't have to give this kind of 
garbage the attention it doesn't deserve.  Most believe you did 
everything possible to get her to stay.

I was at the time primarily concerned about the loss of what seemed to be 
a good friend of yours, and how that would affect you (and selfishly from 
my perspective, your writing).  When I saw you and Claudia chatting live 
on AOL a few years ago, I read genuine respect and affection from both of 
you.  It couldn't have been as simple as just losing an employee, and it 
really burns my britches people haven't stopped to realize that you 
probably took a personal shot to the gut when she failed to sign.

Steve...you have no idea.

Thanks.  It needed saying.
