       It's not that I *can't* answer the question, I simply choose not to.
There is no requirement here that I HAVE to answer every single question unless
I'm specifically prohibited for some reason.  Some things I just prefer to hold
back until a later time.  You may not know the reasons, but I do.

                                                                       jms

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

       Yeah, I actually don't know what the deal is on that.  It would have to
be legit (though only for the UK) because they're being very open about it.
It's like any mail order video company, I assume.  They buy in bulk, and sell
it via mail for a discount.

Fm: SYSOP DUPA T PARROT

  Joe,

I saw an ad for the next season of Star Trek: Voyager and UPN appears to be
moving it to Wednesday nights at 9:00 PM Eastern (8:00 PM Central). Since you
said that B5 is on Wednesday in most markets (not Chicago), looks like the
Forces of Darkness are at it again.

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      Yeah, that's been one of the big problems, more and more nights are being
committed to either UPN or Fox or WBN...syndicated shows are being squeezed
out.

                                                                    jms

Fm: REBECCA ESCHLIMAN

Now that the Emmy nominations have been announced, and the inevitable reactions
from the netted are battering at you, I would ask, "What award currently given
to television would mean the most to you?"  I would suggest that a Humanitas
award would be well deserved.  Is there a particular award that you would find
most gratifying to receive?

"Is there a particular award that you would find most gratifying to receive?"

Speaking as a long-term fan...the Hugo.

      Well, logically, you could backtrack from there to figure out exactly
when Sheridan and Delenn...er...get together.  I'd rather let that come along
at its own pace.
