This is just a friendly reminder for everyone that when you're making a joke, can you please make it obvious that it's a joke?  Readers don't have the benefit of seeing how you look when you're saying it, and unless you're Jerry Seinfeld it's not a good idea to assume that everyone will know it's a joke simply because you're the author.  We've had some problems on the boards that began as simple misunderstandings.

Also, consider feelings and reputations before you click "Post".  Nobody likes to have their messages removed, and the mods would prefer to never have to remove any.

And now that I've said this, please don't make me eat my words by going overboard, LOL.

Belated best wishes to Linda, who
celebrated her birthday on October 24.

And welcome back!  

Here's a scan of the cover from the Fall, 2002 VIDEOSCOPE magazine, in which KLS is interviewed by two fans from the original run.  The article is 6+ pages, and KLS demonstrates her usual frankness about her DS experiences.  The magazine is showing up on newsstands this week.

Since the forum is on GMT, there's no allowance for Daylight Saving's Time, so if you've changed your clocks in your area of the country you have 1 more to take care of!  Click Profile, then scroll down to Preferences and add an additional hour to the Time Offset.

If you've never set your forum clock to reflect the time in your area, cousins in the East need an offset of -5  and in the West it's -8.

The local news in Los Angeles is reporting some very bad news...

A few stations are reporting that there's been a serious fire in the Hollywood Hills home of our beloved Dennis Patrick.  The reports sounded dire, but because nothing has been confirmed that's all I'll repeat for now, and I hope fans will say a prayer for him or light a candle or whatever they feel most comfortable doing.

Curses!  Pre-empted again!!
