Dawn!
Well, I figured that eventually some brainiac would try and bring this up in the course of an argument. [img]images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif[/img] Sorry, I know I said I’d dropped this, but I want to clear this up right now (and it’s completely unrelated to what the discussion is about).

Yep. I would be. My position is not contingent on the [i]LEXX[/i] DVDs selling or not. Acorn isn’t going to go under if [i]LEXX[/i] discs don’t perform in the marketplace. I don’t have anything riding on the success or failure of the DVDs. I just happen to like the show. There are a number of DVDs that we put out that I *don’t* like, and I don’t go around disguising myself as a fan and posting on boards devoted to them. For instance, we’re putting out [i]Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.[/i] I don’t like it. Would rather do anything else than watch it. Find it tedious in the extreme. We’re doing 10 Gilbert and Sullivan productions on DVD. Other than [i]The Mikado,[/i] and possibly [i]Ruddigore,[/i] I can’t stand these productions. And I don’t go around to John le Carre messageboards, nor to Gilbert and Sullivan newsgroups, and play at being a fan. If others like them, fine. Just doesn’t float my boat. I came to Sad’s because I liked the show, period. I put a link to Sad’s on the second DVD because I like the site. Neither one is getting me any special treatment, and neither one is getting me any extra cash, and that’s just fine by me. [img]images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]
