   Uhh, how is the issue of previous project profits *not* related to the issue of   
   production budget?   
      
   I was saying that I wish that the previous profits of B5 had successfully   
    influenced   
   the producers of The Lost Tales to be willing to pump more money into   
   it.   
      
   I *did* read JMS's usenet post about his decision.   
      
   It's too bad he didn't think more highly of The Lost Tales that *was*   
   made. I liked it.   
      
   But that Legend of The Rangers *did* stink pretty bad.   
      
   That was the only one that actually made me feel that injustice was   
   done.
