And now a message from the Brain.

Brain: Hello friends and soon-to-be subjects.  I am the Brain, and my
good friend Jennifer has graciously allowed me to use her account to
submit this poll to you, fellow Galactic Heroes fans.  This apparently
meaningless poll is a survey to find out about you, the fans, and what
you think of this incredible story known as Legend of the Galactic
Heroes.  Please answer the questions truthfully, or I shall be forced
resort to, shall we say, less *pleasant* methods of gathering
information.

Pinky: Narf! Like what?

Brian: Like forcing them to sit through TGIF reruns.

Pinky: What's wrong with Urkel?  Hee hee hee *snort*!

Brain: "Why is he doing this?" you may ask?

Pinky: Why is he doing this?

Brain: In reality, I am a lab mouse, and this is actually part of an
intricate plan to TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!

Pinky: Oooh Brain, I love it when you talk like that!  It gives me goose
bumps.  See?

Brain: Quiet Pinky or I shall have to hurt you.  Yes, I shall rule the
world.  However, you, the denizens of this Mailing List have no need to
fear.  

Indeed, rejoice!  For when I rule the world, things will be very
different!  

When I rule the world, Galactic Heroes will be shown across this
country.  It will be shown on cable, by satellite, and even on broadcast
television!  LoGH will come on right after Babylon 5, and the only
things allowed to be scheduled against it will be documentaries about
sheep herding in New Zealand and reruns of Cop Rock!

Pinky:  Zort!!  I loved Cop Rock!  Are you really going to bring it
back?

Brain:  I'm ignoring you Pinky.  As I was saying, it will be perfectly
dubbed into English by voice actors who actually know how to act!  The
2nd movie will be shown on multiple screens in theaters across the
nation!  We'll promote the show on Leno, Letterman, and, dare I even say
it, Live! With Regis and Kathy Lee!!!  We'll release both dubs and subs
on VHS, laserdisc, and even DVD, all priced affordably!!  Promotions,
tie-ins!!  Breakfast cereal and action figures!!  

Pinky:  I want my Yang Wenli talking doll with beret-twirling action!!

Brain:  YES!!  This will not just be a fad, this will be a PHENOMENON!!

Pinky:  Poit!  Isn't that what mothballs are made of?

Brain:  Anyway, on to the poll.  Please send all replies to the address
on this letter and not to the mailing list.  Jennifer will compile the
replies into a compact and useful format.  Please reply by October 15,
1997.
