My, my, my!  Eighteen ratings this week!  Sure am glad I got around to
automating this thing!  Thanks to all of you who are participating in
this!

Only one more week before reruns.  So stay tuned to this S.O.S.
opening section for special bulletins on the state of the summary
over the break (that's both the rerun break AND winter break).  There
will be late breaking headlines regarding this matter in the post one
week from today.

Now, on with the [Beeble, gurk, spoing]...  Felis Catus is your
taxonomic nomenclature...

The rest of this posting contains a description of the S.O.S. for
those of you who joined us already in progress.  For those of you
familiar with the system, type `n' now!



WHAT IS IT?
  The S.O.S. (Spoiler-Free Opinion Summary) is a twice-weekly posting
  made by yours truly.  The first posting is made Thursday and is
  intended to give those people who don't see the episode until later
  in the week a hint as to the quality of episode to expect.  The
  second posting is made Sunday and gives the final ratings for the
  entire week as a summary of the opinions of the entire viewing
  constituency (or at least those who participate :-)

HOW DO I JOIN IN?
  Becoming a part of the S.O.S. is simple.  After you've seen the
  episode, send me email at `jreiss@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu'.
  Include a simple rating on a numeric scale (no letter grades --
  too much controversy).  Please do NOT include any spoiler
  information.  I usually don't get to see the episodes until 11am
  Sunday, and I like to go in fresh.

This concludes this installment of the S.O.S.  Join us next posting
for more exciting adventures...

Joe
