Actually, I would be glads to send Denise stuff if she asked. Then we could
enrich each other's lives with more stimulating conversation than, say,
worrying about people being patronizing. <g>

The best way to change this is for you and your friends to write (not call)
your local cable company and PBS station and tell them what you want to see.
You'd be surprised how much impact a couple hundres letters will have.
That's how I got the Cartoon Network. I may oly get it half a day, but I was
surprised to have gotten it at all. I'm working on the Sci-Fi Channel now.
