Well, you’re still doing way better than that other Bob Ross.

Though one must admit he was a better painter than you.

Now, Bobbykins, if you could only co-opt his home page; cripes, the man’s been dead sinced 1995!

Farewell for now, old pal.

WP-
Well, I did call and told them I was not re-uping. The woman asked why, and my 1st response was, “Do you think they really care?”. She said “yes”, so I told her what I said above. When I was done, she replied, “Thank you. I’ve recorded what you said and will pass it along”. She then proceeded to tell me that she has been with the comany over 25 years, and she agreed with my complaints.
I guess I’ll find out after May 5th if they got the message to stop delivery.

Bob,

It’s great that I’ll still be able to see your reviews! Since I agree with your opinion 99 percent of the time, I now won’t have to be in the dark, so to speak, when I go to the movies.

Jim,
Good luck with cancelling the Trib. We’ve called at least 4 times over the past 3 months and reminded them we have canceled our sub and not only does the damn thing keep coming, it went from the weekends only to every day. Sad to say I don’t have that much fish to wrap.

Bob, my old compadre:
Great to see you in cyberspace.
I still can’t believe that a)you were “emancipated,” after so many years of loyal service and good work and b)that a large daily newspaper can’t see the value of a locally based film critic/reporter.
