i think you have too much time on your hands giving a recap of the show. after
all, this is the year 2000 and the video cassette recorder has already been
invented and in use in the majority of households in america. i would think
that if a viewer was truly a fan of the show they would watch it when it was on
or tape it when they couldn't see it and watch it later.

If you don't like the updates, then don't read them.

And I think you're a clueless buffoon. The domain you're posting from gave
it away. (I'm sorry the good AOLers out there have to be stereotyped with
people like this genius.)
Vic, thank you very much for posting the Millionaire recaps. I occasionally
work when Millionaire is on and my reception of our ABC affiliate is hit and
miss due to a cable problem. Hence, taping Millionaire's out of the
question.
Keep up the continued good work!

Ever stop to think that this might appeal to WWTBAM fans in the oh, I don't know,
35 other countries that get their own version of the show and don't/can't get the
ABC feed?
Sheesh....

Yep, another pearl of wisdom from someone who A) can't seem to find the shift key,
B) found it necessary to copy the entire update only to add his few lines at the
bottom and, yes, C) is an AOL user.
The updates are useful in any number of ways. Frankly, I don't see how people have
time to do them either, but sometimes they're really quite helpful, and in any case
are clearly labelled and easily ignored if you so choose. Vic is continuing a long
tradition of recaps in this newsgroup that people like Jeremy Soria and Robair
Mackey have provided over the years. Keep up the good work!

guess that a printed recap of events is too complex for your couch potato
mentality, therefore I can only imagine that you could never grasp the concept of
how quickly and efficiently these recaps are produced. Back to sleep.....
