Okay so you ask us all to refrain from flaming you because you are not meaning to offend and yet you are disparaging Excelsior for not living up to improvements Thom discussed in Feb of 2005. Is that the jist of this thread?
I would like to counter that improvements have been made in both casting schedules and communications with the fans. Maybe not to the level that you would like but improvement none-the-less. I would further like to point out that these improvements were made during a year that saw several major personal and professional obstacles for the crew at Excelsior. Your comments here seem to me to be those of someone trolling for a flame-war and I hope that a Moderator will shut this thread down before someone gives you what you seem to be looking for. I know it will happen sooner or later becaue I know how hard it was for me to refrain from unlimbering my gehenna and laying waste. Lucky for you and our fellow forumites I made a promise to a good friend - a man I call my brother to try and stay on the high road.
