Hey--

I appreciate your support, but it wasn't Toronto that decided to do
the MuchUSA thing. It was MuchUSA, a separate company. Believe me,
Toronto was not/is not happy about it.

MuchUSA relented and agreed to carry my show, then backed away again
after the e-mails stopped coming. They stopped coming because MUSA
said they'd carry the show. Catch-22.
