I tried posting this earlier yesterday and again last night, but thanks to web server problems, I could not. Plus stuff I had previously written on this exact subject was eaten by the server so I have no idea where it is. So let me retry this post and hopefully, the web gremlins that ate […]

This just in from CBS/Turner, actually I got this on Tuesday, but due to the Denial of Service attack on the server that houses this blog (apparently, I was not the target, but this still affected me!), I wasn’t able to post this right away.
