Fm: DAVID GERROLD

Suggest it to the Worldcon committee.

FYI, I've written them a letter pointing out the dilemma, but I have not
suggested or requested any specific resolution.

Mike Glyer thinks the best way would be for the DS9 writers to get the
rocketship and for me to get the base, but I think he was kidding.  <g>

Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

       Glyer's solution is workable unless you can determine if any of the
other writers involved are baser than you are....

Sb: #665681-Season finale
Fm: J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI

      I'm shooting the season finale for year 5 right now, and directing it.
Assuming a 5th season, this would be aired as 522 instead of 422, with 501
moved into the 422 spot.

                                                                    jms

"...there's been a really startling lack of adultery, fornication, kinky sex,
overt blackmail and the sort of tangled family tree that makes
Sinclair/Valen/Delenn look absolutely pedestrian."

      Damn, I knew I was forgetting *something*....

                                                                    jms

>>If it weren't for doctrine, a lot of the world's religions would get along
a lot better, because the core roots of their beliefs aren't that dissimilar,
it's the interpretation and the rules that grew up around them that seem to
cause all the trouble. <<

Nicely put and here is one example that I love:

Christians: Sunday is day of rest.
Jews:       Saturday is day of rest.
Muslims:    Friday is day of rest.

Why?

Sorry for the divergence.

Hugh.

Joe,

Wow.  What you're doing is great.  I've been thinking about joining the fan

address?

Thanks,
