Thansk, and you're totally right, that's definitely a good idea. I have to start e-mailing requests. :)

Oh sure, I wouldn't expect more than that unless a member wanted to send more. I don't know the actual numbers, maybe someone else here does, but let's say TNT got five thousand letters from WB fans [and that's probably padding it, unfortunately]. If there were 10,000 members of Sanctuary, which isn't really a stretch given I'm looking for fans of horror, sci fi and fantasy, and each sent at least one letter and/or e-mail, whether they were a fan or not [and how is TNT to know who is or isn't?], that's quite a chunk of population willing to spend a little time and maybe even a stamp on a show. That impresses them. And of course, the higher the numbers, the more they'll listen. Believe me, I know what you're saying - using Stargate again, which is a show I don't watch but that I understand is a quality sci fi show - much as I'd want to save a good show, just because it's the right thing to do, I wouldn't be willing to do much more than sign a petition, maybe send an e-mail or a letter to save it. But that's better than doing nothing - know what I mean? Too many times I sat back and just sighed, oh well, there goes another one - for too many things in my life - and I'm just not prepared to keep doing that now. I did that throughout most of my teenage and twenty-something years, and now that I've learned a little more about life, sitting back, watching the world go by just won't cut it anymore. End of sermon. Sorry. :)
