At Quince's suggestion, I am reposting this, so those who have mailers
that delete postings on a weekly basis (and were on vacation) can
see this.  Let's SAVE SSH!
*************************************
<some good stuff from Sisters Spud and Quince deleted>

Spud launches the attack:
>>Let's make it an all out assault, everyone who is disgusted by her
>>firing, who is outraged that no story could be writen for her,
>>because there is no interest in someone of her age must take action,
>>must voice their opinion to the ignorant producers, and writers.
>>We must barrage the phone lines, the fax lines. We need a constant
>>flow of calls, faxes, etc. to show our outrage. We have to
>>be forceful and threaten them with boycotts, with discontinued
>>viewing, with promises to protest their advertisers. IF EVERYONE
>>on the net again does something, spends a couple of minutes at
>>least in this effort, if we get friends to participate, if
>>Greg can post this to the BBSes and get them involved then
>>maybe we can change things.
>>Let's have a discussion of other possible plans for attack.

Quince suggests further strategies:
>  I say, let's not wait until the last day or two this time.
>  Let's all start sending right away.  Doesn't the office re-open
>  on Monday, January 4th.  I think everyone should send at least
>  one fax, make one phone call, or send one letter a day.  We
>  don't want them to turn off the fax machine or put on the
>  answering machine like they did last time.  We want to strive
>  for action.  If we do this a little at a time and in a steady

Razzie puts in her own two cents:
I think Quince has made an excellent suggestion to add to Spud's
master plan.  If everyone on the net who wants to save SSH could
make just one call or fax a day, write just one letter... Well...
If we make the month of January SAVE SSH month, then... let's see...
the weeks of Jan. 4, 11, 18, and 25.  Those cover her last tape
days plus her last air days.  That's 20 working days.  If just 50
people each made one call a day, that would be 1000 calls in one month.
The same with letters or faxes.  And TPTB consider 1000 to equal
the opinions of 10,000 viewers (some would even say 100,000!), so...
if we all phone, fax and write, we could have a big impact!
(Why do I feel like it's Nov. and I'm doing GOTV again?)

Razzie agrees again!  I think maybe this will work.  (It saved Matt,
didn't it?)

Great idea, Quince.  I have a list of addresses for the soap mags, plus
the major advertisers that was forwarded to me by the Big B herself.
I'll post that on Monday (when more people are back online).
I might also suggest writing to TV Guide, since Michael Logan wrote
such a nice diatribe against SSH's "axing" by DOOL.  (I can post the
text of that again, if not everyone saw the issue.  It's the one with
Patrick Stewart and Avery Brooks on the cover, Jan. 2-8, 1993.)
