YES!  A letter writing campaign to Lynch/Frost is probably a good idea.  They
probably feel a bit beset and depressed by all the bad turns things have
taken, so a bunch of very positive mail encouraging them to do whatever it
takes to make it work might actually have an effect.

I wonder if a massive letter writing campaign directly to Kyle might also have
an effect?  If he's really concerned about what is happening to the character,
then the positive support might make him reconsider; however, if he is afraid
of being typecast, and wants to leave Dale Cooper behind the way Sean Connery
left James Bond behind, then a lot of "fan" mail might only serve to
strengthen his convictions.  Anybody have any inside insights, other than the
mass media fluff?

And speaking of inside insights, where is COOP?  Uh, hey, Bob Cappell... you
certainly used to read a.t.tp... what's going on?  Don't mean to beat up on
you, but this is TP's darkest hour to date, and some concerted action would
certainly seem to be called for!  Are you still in touch with Lynch/Frost?
Is there any hope left?  How can we have the most beneficial effect?

I think I'm going to try contacting Lynch/Frost directly.  Perhaps nothing
will come of it, but if there's any useful feedback, I'll certainly pass it
on.  Maybe I can find out how to get telegrams to Kyle, and we can act
quickly on this.
