   	Er, I mean, USENET!   
      
   	This is NOT a web forum. Anyone using a regular Newsreader will see a   
   thread, and your "bump" will be useless except to make you look like a   
   clueless n00b.

   	It's not on topic for r.a.sf.WRITTEN, because you're talking about TV.   
      
   	You're crossposting to multiple groups -- a spammer hallmark.   
      
   	You include lists of links that look suspiciously like links to things   
   that you might make money from -- which would make this UCE, which would   
   make it SPAM.

   	Not for this one, when you're talking about Harlan's TV appearances,   
   nor for the Star Trek one, unless you're talking about Harlan's Trek   
   involvement, which was limited.   
      
   	If you're not a spammer, try not cross-posting and participating in   
   discussions in the individual groups.
