Right?
Right.
We can't talk about how they're being written in or out. We can say that AD left a life of show-business to kidnap me and take me to a secluded, remote, but well-appointed island retreat.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
And by "me", of course, Cindy means me.

If he were, I would hope that the National Enquirer got called at some point!

Nope. I don't think so, girlfriend.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I only take issue with that, if it is going to be a quibbling point, later on.
I just want it to be as exact as possible, with no room for arguing what does or doesn't fit. I think the earlier language does that better. But that's Jim's call, I guess.

So Jon, brenda -- if my hypothetical situation with the Angel cast, that everyone got their contracts in order before the upfronts, except JAR, and JAR's contract wasn't signed until the next day, would you want us to have to keep mum on JAR signing for the whole summer.
I mean, none of this made me stop and think when Kristen supplied the new language. But seeing these questions now, although I understand the need for specificity, will we end up specifying ourselves right back into the same corner of frustration?
Isn't the key here, that when the WB and FOX (or for other shows, network and studio) announce the series is renewed for another season, and releases who is in the main cast, we get to talk about that main cast, 4 weeks after the finale? (Or later, if the series is renewed later)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm with Cindy.
Also, Lightbulbs is closed and Jim doesn't seem to be around, so I don't think we can really be changing the language around at this point.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!
To be honest, I think the choice between the two wordings is a toss-up. I say we stick with it as is because, frankly, there can be no more discussion of this. We need to vote now.

Jim - I agree. However, because there was a challenge to this by the grandfather clause at one point, I am a little concerned that this question won't go unchallenged at a later date. To spare us that, if your proposal passes, but is challenged at a later date, I just want to make certain of your intent with regard to the following:
Given my hypothetical, would your proposal as worded allow us to talk about JAR during the summer hiatus, if there was an official announcement by WB or FOX that he was signed on?
