Subject: Thank you for parentstv.org To: Editor@parentstv.org, Webmaster@parentstv.org, Letters@parentstv.org Hello creators and maintainers of parentstv.org. I am not a parent, but I really, really appreciate what your site is doing. Specifically, the page at http://www.parentstv.org/PTC/clips/main.asp titled "Worst TV Clips of the Week". In general I have discontinued watching broadcast and cable television because of it's low quality and I simply don't have time to sift through the garbage. What your page provides me is the sweetest necture from all the fruit of broadcast and pay television. I can just hit your page once a week and get all the fun, hot clips. With your permission, I will start backing up this page onto a CD-ROM archive that I can mail around and trade with my friends. You are all quite a peice of work. Don't ever stop being you! Gratefully yours, Austin happy non-parent and heavy user of parentstv.org PS -- Feel free to use this testimony on your website.
