  Go to all that trouble, and the fans still tear ya apart...

  I'm not sure how this ties into the list. Warner Animation's staff are human
(maybe with the exception of Sherri Stoner [really perky at the Emmys] and
Jenny Lerew [who hasn't ran away from alt.tv.tiny-toon at the unedited sight
of truly devoted toondom]). So they make a few mistakes, you gonna discredit
them for that?

  Okay. For the record, the TTAUEC got its list of "end tag credits" from
Alfred Gimeno, who's listed in every episode of TTA for character design.
What, you think we picked up some random gofer and asked him for a list?

  Ask Alfred.  B-)  I'll stand by the list until someone corrects me.  B-)

  (Hey, I gotta take SOME pride in the work that comes out of this little
room in L.A....)

P.S. And for all you folks who got uncomfortable when Buster and Babs talked
about cancellation in TWO-TONE TOWN, remember...  ***WRITE!***

Anyone can sob, but you can make a difference, if you take up pen/pencil/word
processor, pound out a few dozen letters, and let The Powers That Be know
how you feel about this turn of events.
