Wish I knew why this dude pissed me off so much. But he did. So I reflecting his ALL CAPS energy right back at. And he cowered like the keyboard coward he is. Grrrrโ€ฆmfers. Thanks for the support! :-)

You have my sympathies...

Once upon a time I worked in public broadcasting. Each (snail) mail delivery, we'd quickly scan correspondence for those those addressed in ALL CAPS, and frequently in colour too (red crayon being a fave tool du jour)...

These letter writers were deemed 'maddies' & were set aside for 'careful treatment'.

We smiled slyly on the inside ๐Ÿ˜

For what it's worth, we were making radio programs on latest scientific matters, and it was mid-80s.

So Clint, take heart, 'they've' always been out there! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

Blaming others for their own shortcomings ๐Ÿ˜œ

Warm regards, Simon.

Wow. I worked on some PBS productions in the early 90s and heard similar stories from the PR folks. Crayons? Wowโ€ฆpeople have more time than sense. I think Iโ€™ve written one โ€œletter to the editor,โ€ about 20/20 airing pieces about hatemonger Fred Phelps. They were critical, but I urged them to stop giving his fire and brimstone routine oxygen. And got a short but thoughtful reply back from a producer. They at least seemed to listen.

As for the โ€œmaddies,โ€ I welcome them to stfu. And will help them if they canโ€™t figure out how to scroll on. Stupid people. :-p

While older and frailer than I ever hoped to be, I am glad to be here and ready to do my best to return us to a more civilized and loving blended society.

Hollywood is all smoke and mirrors. Very underwhelming. As for Hollywood Forever Cemetaryโ€ฆitโ€™s in a terrible neighborhood but is a truly beautiful, peaceful place. Not long after she passed, I was living in LA and dating a HUGE Golden Girls fan. So I took him to pay his respects. Before her final tombstone was even in place. She buried very close to Mel Blanc, the voice of Bug Bunny. Thanks for the video, Doug!

Oh, Dougโ€ฆIโ€™m not buying the โ€œtv is smarterโ€ bs. Not from you, smartie pants. You knowโ€”and rememberโ€”more stuff than Iโ€™ve ever known. As for the Smart TV, if you kindly email me the make and model your TV, Iโ€™ll see if I canโ€™t figure out a simple way for you to watch SS on the big guy. Happy to helpโ€ฆyouโ€™re awesome. Mr. Horton? Not so much. :-p

I'll email you the info I have for your account. I want you to be able to login and enjoy. I don't see why a Smart TV wouldn't let you do that. Standby. :-)
