   I think he was making a troll-like sarcastic comment....   
      
   The woman is indeed nuts. I can see wanting someone's autograph.  I   
   can see writing four or five times MAYBE.  I've written up to five   
   before and that's like my limit.  If they've not responded 5 different   
   places over a two or three year time frame, then give it up!  No   
   matter if you have 99 out of a total of 100 needed to complete your   
   collection!  Obviously they do not want to sign!  Get over it.  And in   
   my OPINION (no, this is now law) but you should wait a minimum of 4-6   
   months for something to come back.  Some movies, tours and other   
   things take that long (or longer) and when they come back, they most   
   certainly have other things to do like be with family and take care of   
   things at home for a bit.  The last thing most want to do is answer   
   fan mail.   
      
   I remember the Michael Sheard and Brian Blessed incidents (and there   
   was another couple I've had made comment).  Where I wrote 3-5 letters   
   inside two years and they responded and commented on my lack of   
   patience.  Michael Sheard thought I was playing a game to get a lot of   
   autographs to sell I think (I mentioned my son in all the letters as   
   we used to collect together in the beginning) and he said "how many   
   'sons' do you have?!!!"  From then on I've been a lot more patient.   
   Brian Blessed too well over 5 years to sign.  And when he did, he sent   
   them all back from different agencies and theatres I sent to; and said   
   he just got to his mail.  If you don't have patience, don't be a ttm   
   autograph collector.
