Just recieved a reply from Mr Sprange. All I will say is that he seems 
genuinly (sp?) upset by Joe's reaction and he seems to really care about B5, 
like the rest of us. I've also seen Joe's recent post, which actually makes 
no sense to me, baring in mind what Mr Sparnge has just written to me. I 
would post the reply I got , but I dont feel I have permission.

I think Joe needs to to be a little more candid here. For me, there is 
something in between what Joe and Mr Sprange is saying. I like to know what 
it is.

I cant help feeling that had a way of continuing the Crusade arc been found, 
years ago, we wouldnt be in the middle of this. If Joe cares about the story 
and his fans, perhaps he should do something that addresses Crusade, before 
others do.
