Ivan, I have been off, just reading when I could. Brig has been tapering off tasmar and it has been sheer hell, his comment, dead has got to be easier. Anyway, I know you have had a tough life, but you know God only gives this stuff to people who can handle it,( I tell myself every couple of days.) PLEASE don't even think this is a gay situation, no one on this list gives a damn about that, and that would be the last reason, that a public TV station would dare use to not film you. I agree with other reasons, budget constraints, travel expenses etc..I also agree it's not fair, but who ever promised us justice. I apologize for any and all unfair treatment, but in this situation, I don't honestly think that was the problem. As always, Just my opinion. Take care, always thinking about you. Gerry
