Guys I just got this from Chandler Hayes......

"Maybe you can spread the word that I am not the decision maker or the appropriate person to be sending emails to re LOTS - and it has been reported there will not be another season of LOTS so all the emails are a waste of time and effort for all involved...I'm replying to you to see if you can spread the word via whatever social network you found my name on - I don't mind hitting the delete button on all the emails but it seems everyone could be spending their time doing something more worthwhile..."

I'M WORKING HARDER NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Working harder is great. Don't take what he says about it being a waste of time and having better things to do with your time to heart. This is actually a very unDisney type reply and if they knew about it, TPTB would be very upset.

A Disney reply would be more along the lines of "we appreciate your interest in the show, thank you for watching, etc.etc and then maybe a word about how he is not is a position associated with the show. Disney is not in the business of irritating people for no reason.

I was really mad but it Just makes me want to work harder. Who or what is TPTB?

[auroracat]

TPTB - The Powers That Be - in this case I was referring to the Disney execs.

Having worked for the company for 10 years, I can tell you that his response woudl definitely not be considered "Disney" appropriate.

Working hard myself. I am actually encouraged by recent developments and think now is the time to really put a push on.

I said that he could say that but we would still work and thank you. This is what he wrote back....

"Well sending emails to me doesn't help the cause - please spread the word...your emails are totally wasted on me - its like running on a treadmill hoping you are actually going to reach a further destination...just wanted to let you know...I applaud your passion and efforts - but its like sending emails to a doctor when something is wrong with your car - wrong person for the solution..."

So maybe no more mail to Hayes. Lots of other people though!!!!

Yes, take him off the list. That response is a bit more along "company" lines, though.

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir here - but remember paper letter, via snail mail still carry the most weight!

[jainasolo101]

I know. I liked the second reply more than the first. The first just makes you mad. The second one, not so much.

That was totally uncalled for on his part! Well I just sent a email to Direct TV and should hear back from them shortly..... I am really hoping for a season 3 now more than ever, they set up a perfect beginning to season 3.

Which recent developments have you encouraged?

[kahlanfan123]

Wow, direct tv wrote this back:

I understand your interest in "Legend of the Seeker". Our goal is to provide a wide variety of channels and programming content and we can't predict or control the programming selection a particular channel chooses to air. While we continually work with our programming partners to improve your television entertainment experience, it helps us all if you also forward your feedback to the ABC. We understand that not everyone will like every program aired on DIRECTV, and we take customer feedback very seriously.

Well now we know we need to speak with disney but with that one guys rude letter back to one of us, I am now all the more fired up about it!
