- Ted--here's a thought. No flame intended :) Why not correct those
- misperceptions instead of just being annoyed by them--that applies
- to all Alaskans who lurk over there.
-
- Myself, I am a NEXP fan, but my husband sincerely seeks employ
- in Anchorage <he is working on a transfer as we speak> and the
- two items <my fan status and his job transfer> are unrealted.
-
- I number among the NX fans who realize that Cicely is fiction,
- that it is the creation of LA bound producers who have NO clue
- as to what life in AK is really like--but I enjoy the characters
- and plots.
-
- It is an endless source of humor for me personally to see
- these people who attempt to figure out where Cicely is, who
- think Alaskans run around quoting Jung and that Joel & Maggie
- really exist. Just folks who have the phone lines between reality
- and fantasy crossed.
-
- A significant number of NX fans are literate, intelligent people
- who might appreciate a reality check from time to time--
-
- Just a thought--I'll go back to lurking...
