Just to clarify ...
By Kevin Dilmore

If I might chime in here with a couple of things ...

While Bill chose to refer to me in his news item as "Pocket Books writer Kevin Dilmore," I certainly was not posting my musings on a TAS DVD release in that capacity, nor with any regard to the work I have done for Pocket Books. I get why he did it; he was trying to connect my name to something that might make me familiar to his readers. In reporting, we make those choices all the time. Do we say "Children's book author Madonna" or "Film score composer John Carpenter"? Nope. Inarguably, however, it's part of what they do.

To further clarify, I also wasn't posting on the subject of TAS DVDs in any OFFICIAL capacity at all. Don't construe my message-board postings on this as "official" in any way, shape or form.

So why did I enter a conversation about TAS DVDs on a message board? Since well before I wrote any published fiction, I have been a contributing writer to Star Trek Communicator magazine. As the Communicator is sanctioned by Paramount, I have enjoyed the opportunity to interview and maintain contact with Paramount sources for years. One of the stories on which I've been working recently is following the news/rumor mill surrounding the release of TAS on DVD, something that a number of ST fans have desired for some time. I had done some leg work that so far has yielded some information but nothing that constitutes a story for the Communicator as of yet. While there's nothing print-worthy on the topic yet, I decided to share what I know with the readers of the message board. I did so because 1) I want people to know that the Comunicator (through me and other contributing writers) is aware of the interest in this subject and is "on the job," and 2) I'm a big fan of TAS and I don't mind sharing what I understand to be the situation. Like any situation, it is subject to change.

That's the "deep background" and perspective of my original posting. I regret that readers of Bill's news item did not have the perspective of that background in which to establish the context of my post to the message board.
