I didn't mean to 'dictate' what Lynch/Frost should do with their story.
I was simply expressing what I would personally LIKE to see happen.  I respect
Lynch's genius, and wouln't think of questioning it.  The writers obviously
have a sense of how they wish the story to progress; unfortunatly we do not.
So despite how annoying a plot decision may seem at the time, I am content
to sit back and wait to see what becomes of it;  generally a much more
enthralling show.

Nor did I mean we should use this letter writting campaign as a means of
attempting to 'get what we want'.  That is alltogether the WRONG thing to do
in our situation, and could very well have the opposite effect of what we ALL
what, ^Twin Peaks^ back on the air.

I was simply trying to express my personal feelings, but I obviously didn't
do it very effectivly.  I hope this clears things up a bit.
