I wanted to make sure that mail was actually *going* somewhere before
exhorting the membership to write again. At the moment, it seems impossible
to get a single *name* to address such mail to, as you can't pin responsibility
for a kats on/off decision on any one person...though four-out-of-five-dentists
(and not a few Barberians) highly recommend Fred Seibert. Fred's been using
his mail to light cigars for over a year now, so maybe that's not the best plan either.

I personally like a variation of a single unusually sized letter with a pack of signatures
on it with two lines or so from each Katfan, but that'd be *very* hard to organize.

BTW, I know at least ten people that have mailed Turner at the various addresses,
and roughly three got responses outside the standard form-letter - and *none* of
these came from the intended recipient (in addition to being totally "unofficial").

Um...careful here. Turner addresses are set up so that you can theoretically get
hold of anyone by putting their full name, seperated by a period, before the
"_at_turner.com". Don't swamp poor old Richard with mail, as I doubt he's
meant to be TBS' version of an "in box".

That's really cool...I like these guys.

...less "Secret Files of the SwatKats" and the "Katseye News Special Report/SKIQ"
episode, and the "Today on SwatKats!" bumpers prior to the opening credits.
Does TCN have those "and now back to SWATKATS" bumpers at the act-breaks?
I guess someone lost the master of that SKIQ episode. I have a feeling I'm going to
send them a videotape showing exactly what's missing.
