Heh, heh...very comical, Marcus.

Well...after yesterday's show, I may have to change my assessment.  I'm
not quite prepared to do that yet but it looks as if TPTB may have 
changed their minds...maybe it'll be Stella.

You're gonna let Jeff throw spitballs at you???

I pretty much agree with you here...it's very very sad.

Again...I agree with you.

I agree that it takes time to like people and that's my point in a nut
shell...we shouldn't have the new characters crammed into the forefront
from the minute they hit town leaving all the good old characters 
grasping for air time.  They should gradually work their way into 
things.

Gosh...we're just agreeing left and right...isn't that bizarre?  I 
kinda thought we were arguing about something...it's unclear what, 
though!
