I'm glad "Lost" is doing well. I'm supportive of the local crews who zip their lips dealing with Spielberg wanna-bes (in all their pompous LA arrogance[other shows I've worked on])and are up and on the set at 4am for 15 hour days.
For one thing, "Lost" has an imaginative plot and is not like other B.S. series I've seen degrading the image of Hawaii's diverse ethnic populace (they're always the Hotel help--Duhhhhh).
Awesomeron (you probably will shrug this off, which is okay), but if you compose your letter to the discussion off line then copy it to the discussion, you'll be able to take as long as you like. Then, you could spell check (as I said wrong spelling doesn't bug me)... but more importantly, you'll be able to create paragraphs (which separate idea topics) and it will make for easier reading and appear less like a "Train of thought ramble."
It will then be more fun for you and they'll be less complaints.
Please don't be defensive about the suggestion. I have a belief in posting that "I'll never really know a person by these posts and we may be friendly hanging around talking story and laughing in a neighbor's garage."
