...I'm not pissed off, though. I'm trying to basically say "blech. It's Jim Ward. Don't sweat it so bad." What you're saying isn't offending me in the least. I'm not trying to DEFEND Jim Ward or get you to lay off him--I'm trying to provide some perspective as to why he spouts some of the shit he does, and that it's simply because that's what he's paid to do. I'd question whether he actually believes what he's saying half the time.

I'm not mad that you're mad, I'm trying to REASSURE you that it's something that isn't a big deal--and then educate you about how Ward, if he could, would MAKE lucas sell the originals. It's a Marketing Exec's wet dream. He'd love nothing more than to get the originals out there.

Apologies if you thought I was trying to ream you out or something, but really--you're not pissing me off or irritating me by reaming Ward. Doesn't bother me in the least. I'm just trying to save you some hassle.
