Sandy:

Thank you, Steve, for passing this along. For the record, I would 
like to say 
that I totally agree with the author of this article, and that I, 
for one, do 
not wish Daniel well in the role, nor do I welcome the change.

Leeann Comes Out of The Kitchen To Speak Her Mind:

I know we aren't supposed to post "I agree" messages here, but  
Steve's post and Sandy's reply have moved me to respectfuly ask the 
elves to let me break that rule. I promise to iron my hands as soon 
as I get up from the computer!

I too am quite disturbed by Dan's decision to do this role. It goes 
without saying that it is his decision, but I am free to disagree. I 
fully expect to be accused of being a 40 something soccer mom with 
an all too conservative point of view, but lets face something: 
Declining morality just scratches the surface of todays problems. 

I don't want to start a thread of just what our problems are because 
that would get us nowhere. I just wanted to express my feelings 
about his decision to do this role. If he were my son, in the US 
still a minor by the way, I would hope he would pass on this one. I 
can't believe there aren't other fabulous scripts just waiting for 
him.

(deep bow) Thank you for your time. I'm off to warm up the iron.
