the Crusher-Pulaski-Crusher switch

Might as well say it was correct because you heard it from the mouth of a government official

Here we go...

Sides, the Federmuhration doesn't exist yet, so who would really know, huh?

I was fine with your source (and assumed it was more than just info gotten while standing in line for an autograph.) We're only going to get so much info from the franchise people and at some point you have to expand your sources or simply buy into the party line. It's a matter of weighing the sources against one another and deciding what the stakes are for the person giving the information. Even when a source is written in stone, I try to evaluate the man with the chisel.

Well, Darius101, which would you prefer, I go with what you say, or I read into it whatever seems reasonable to me at the time?

That being said, even guests of honor dont necessarily tell you the whole truth. They are there in a public relations role, and you should expect them to act as such. Sometimes you'll get truth, and sometimes not.

For example, we'll take Witchblade. Officially, the show was cancelled because the network didn't feel it would hold onto ratings. Officially, the fact that the show's star needed to go into rehab for alcoholism had nothing at all to do with it. It doesn't get mentioned.

That's a good, appropriate, and downright polite way to handle it. I applaud the move. Sometimes, having a little bit of class means you don't tell the 100% unvarnished, complete truth.

You never get the whole truth no matter who is speaking or listening.

How have you been, anyway, Umb. You seem to be a little on edge the last couple of months. Drop me an Email if you'd like to chat or anything.

Also, in my own defense, I *did* put smilies in the posts. I was trying to be a bit funny on the nature of information at conventions, and such.

[edit: gotta keep tense and plural agreements straight. Dratted grammar!]

There is an enthusiasm similar to what is posted on the General Forum here, isn't there?
