I think that's the crucial point.
It's possible that we're like spoiled child.
These days AOL accounts can be obtained in the UK, so JMS can still use his US account. I wonder what he did when working in Canada?PS: Jan...has anyone posted a request for a word of encouragement or an update from JMS over at the mod group? I'll be able to get online tonight at home, so I might do that if no one has.
One short post from JMS stating nothing new (so he can't get into trouble), but telling us that everything is still on track...be patient...would go a long way to relief the nerves those who are doubtful.

Ides of July, 2004
Dear Mr. Straczynski:
Please forward to the Appropriate Powers That Be as soon as is Convenient.
Very Sincerely Yours,
Collection Department,
People awaiting a P
Dear Sirs and/or Madames:
It has come to our attention that you are Seriously Delinquent in delivering the proposed P that was tentatively scheduled for the Ides of May last. I remind you that your representative, Mr. J. Michael Straczynski has long since delivered the 'good faith' Eep Deposit on your behalf and that it is now past time to deliver the proper P to the Waiting Populace. Our company has been awaiting delivery for several months now and are growing concerned that for reasons unknown, the Powers that Be are unnecessarily P shy, thereby delaying delivery as previously scheduled.
We recognize that Unforseen Circumstances might have delayed this delivery, and, as an alternate to a grand P Announcement, this company might possibly be willing to accept a Reasonably Reliable information leak in the interim. Simply point us toward a likely source and I assure you that the Full Resources of the Collection Department will be Despatched with Alacrity to obtain this Information.
We look forward to your Immediate Attention to this Very Important Matter.
As ever,
Your Obedient Servant

He seems less than happy about turning 50.
That was great!
Hopefully it will get a response of reassurance from JMS at the least. Very imaginative way of stating it... ..surely JMS will have to say something just because it's such a clever way to say, "Hey...what about us?! Hello? Did you forget to tell us something?!"
I could kiss you Jan!
His usual response to being wished happy birthday is a 'Bah Humbug'.
Jan
>Happy Birthday, Joe!

........feh.
I mean, yeah, it beats the alternatives, but NOT AS FUCKING MUCH AS IT USED TO.

And hidden meanings in?

While I agree with the 70% chance figure above, Jan's quote is probably the most important thing to keep in mind.JMS has said what he can. He's told us that any further info has to come from official sources. I firmly believe that if it had fallen through and he knew about it he'd tell us.
Many would think that 2 shows were killed BECAUSE he argued with suits...not that he killed them to avoid it. There were disagreements with executives on both shows. He DID argue with them. They refused to budge...so he bailed. Either way, arguments did take place, so a better response would be he DOES argue with suits, and when he does bad things happen. Not that would kill a show to avoid arguing with them.Oh, and if you think JMS actually likes to argue with the suits...think again. He's killed two shows rather than do so.
