Response I received from ABC.

[Crunchy Frog]

A couple of days ago I wrote to ABC concerning their upcoming 9/11 program, using this contact form, http://abc.go.com/site/contactus.html

I recieved a response from them. Here is what they had to say.

I guess maybe this isn't the most effective way to communicate with them.

1. In other words.....thanks for writing, now STFU. nt

3. I don't think they even read my message.

I think they just noted that someone had sent them some feedback and responded with an all-purpose form letter.

I will attempt to communicate with them more directly tomorrow.

12. This is an automatically generated message

*They* didn't note that someone sent them a message. Their e-mail server did.

They're probably just routinely trashing all the e-mails about this fictional work.

2. God help you if you happen to send them your idea for a TV

show. At least you might get their attention.

4. I guess they send their legal people after you if you do that.

Maybe I could send them a program plot idea about a television network that makes a gigantic, illegal, in kind campaign contribution to a major political party during an election season and gets investigated and finally shut down for it. The program could focus on the intrepid investigator. Might make for an interesting series. I think I'll suggest it to them and see what their legal department thinks of the idea. :rofl:

6. I might try the one where a nitwit political hack tries to slip a bogus

re-write of history into the schedule of a major tv network with the aim of turning around an election.

Too bad it's too far fetched an idea, nobody would buy it.

5. Interesting. So they solicited the material, it was not offered to them

7. Try diplomacy

I recommend the Whizzo Quality Assortment — in particular, Spring Surprise. :7
