Out of curiosity...

I've never posted to r.a.s.c. before, and I don't read it regularly.
Maybe that's why I've been surprised by some of what I've read here.


Out of curiosity... why do so many people here believe bullsh*t
rumors like the 7th season spoilers, but flame the guy who
posted an attributed item from a reliable source? Broadcasting &
Cable is *the* magazine to read if you want to be up on what's
happening with syndicated TV and a host of other topics. It had
information on DS9 long before Starlog or the fan club zine.

In case there are still a few skeptics, the article was *not*
referring to DS9.

A little common sense and a willingness to follow up on info,
evaluate sources, and think... these would kill a lot of dumb
rumors. Do you really believe the 7th season of TNG will be
about a Cardassian war, as some Compuserve people insist on
repeating? Roddenberry would rise from the grave and rip
off the heads of Berman and Piller if that ever happened.

Welcome on board. Surprised? Yes, some of what's posted here is, er,
surprising...

Cool! Post some info.

Could you post some details? How old was the article, and exactly what did
it have to say?

That in itself might make an interesting story.
