Now I can agree with you for the most part. However, note that these letters are directed at AFI and their sense of dignity, not at anything legal and not at GL. Their purpose is ostensibly to try and wake someone up over there. I have to believe that there are real movie lovers at AFI... people who really really love the art of movie-making, and think it is important. If we can play some small part in arousing a few of them from their coma, maybe just maybe someday someone with some importance will see what to us and to most movie purists is obvious - that there is a great moment in movie history that has been neglected and must be preserved. I have to believe there are people there who would care if it was pointed out to them and they thought about it for 5 seconds. Perhaps someday, someone who GL respects would read one of our whiney emails by accident, have an epiphany, and actually appeal to GL to do the right thing. Or maybe after GL dies, some people will be waiting in the wings to act. There's hope as long as there are people with the passion to keep trying... that's why I like this board and how its members never give up.
