  With the end of Crusade and the great reduction in the volume of
  posts by JMS, I have decided the time has come to discontinue
  production of the Digest. I will continue to collect and repost any
  JMS traffic through at least the end of September, but unless SciFi
  (or somebody) picks up Crusade and the message volume increases the
  Digest will end no later than the end of this year. What a ride it
  has been!

SiL was written and filmed before Season 5 and would have been the
final episode of Season 4 had Season 5 not happened.  In that light,
this comment more likely refers to the problems they had in Season 4
than any as-yet-untold problems.

      Except of course that Garibaldi's whole future arc was known to
me; whether or not there was a S5, his future was his future.

> if anything deserves it, it's THE MATRIX. 

So I've heard.  Now I have to go rent it.

There are some people trying to ensure that good stuff gets on the
ballot. The only nomination so far is a Swedish porn flick that is only
incidentally SF.  The group that nominated that one want to embarrass
the organization into re-abolishing the award.  It's a very sorry mess.
Anyway, your opinion will be added to our list.

Thanks.

      Of course.  It's SFWA.

      Never have I seen a group that writes about technology so
frightened of a form of technological storytelling.  They're the writer-
equivilents of Luddites.  (Meaning the ones pulling this crap.)
