Their complete lack of family resemblance became obvious

   Not what I was thinking - though totally perfect!!      But then you often take things in a totally different direction, and that's always a great thing!! 

[Uncle Roger]

Thanks!  My take on DS (as well as other things) has always been somewhat skewed and offbeat. I spent the early days of Shadowcon and festivals in the screening room watching episodes and treating them like Rocky Horror. I had no idea that would be such good training for here!

One of the major drawing points of the early conventions was to see episodes. Syndication in the early 1980's was very sporadic at best. And not only did I not have a VCR in those days, I didn't know anyone who did. The screening was always packed, until well past midnight. Some of the newer fans that I have encountered have a difficult time grasping this.

[Uncle Roger]

No idea at all!!
