I'm very satisfied with the performance of the new server. I sent out that bulk mailing and it went without a hitch. If any of you have plans or ideas, I think the site's ready for action.

Shouldn't we all be writing to each address instead of just one of us? If we make it sound like there's enough interest, that should get them to see the benefit of covering it in a future issue.

Oh, I agree. We need to all start sending at the same time so these media outlets are not receiving them in occasional trickles. That's easy for them to ignore. But when their inboxes are inundated with messages all about the same topic, it's a bit harder to ignore.
I also think it might not be a bad idea for each of us to write a letter and post our rough drafts on this page. Then we can read each other's ideas and suggest some of our own and also take ideas from each other's letters. We don't want them to sound exactly the same, but it helps for us all to at least include the same points. Kinda keeps any one of us from sounding a bit more daft than the rest.

I saw the original theatrical release of the Old Trilogy on the big screen and I'm proud of it... How did I accomplish that (considering my age) is my secret...
But I worry that including a newspaper article like that might scare him away due to sheer length before he even finishes reading it. I feel that we should put together a letter with several bullet points that tell what it is that Lucas is planning and what we are trying to accomplish to counter it. Would this be a good approach?

I don't think persistence will be much of a concern. I'm thinking that with his penchant for film preservation, he might jump all over this right away. That's why I want to word this initial letter very carefully.
