: Boy, the title kinda makes me sound arrogant, doesn't it? That comment is for the benefit of most of the emails I received that were a bit critical of my approach. Everyone has a right to his or her opinion.

: And for the guy from Anaheim who actually found out where I work and left the threatening message with our poor receptionist - well, you know who you are and I guess we've already talked about this directly, haven't we?

: Yes, it is just a jacket...

: I was not going to post here again, but Peter Botwright's reply to one of my emails has lead me to post at least this one time. Forgive me Peter for copying your words here, but I think they tell it all:

: "Dear [Patterson]

: I find it hard to believe what you have just stated [after recounting the message left with my receptionist]. Sitting here in England things like that just don't happen...

: I value your input and pursuit of correctness... Please do not be offended as you have my support in pursuit of perfection.

: Cheers

: Peter"

: So there you have it. Peter is apparently not offended by this whole thing, so why should any of you? Give the man some credit. If what I'm doing bothers you so much, then maybe YOU need another hobby.

: I'll get off my soapbox now. Thanks for letting me vent.

: Regards,

: Patterson

Pardon my profanity, but things can move quickly here on the forum! First of all Patterson, you have been one heck of a seeker of the truth in regards to "the jacket." I am thankful you have done the leg work on this matter, as few of us here have the motivation to do so. Your contributions have been noteworthy, to say the least. For some reason the incidents involving other so-called fans hardly surprises me. See them for what they are, immature, but don't leave this forum because of them. I doubt if these folks have ever contributed anything worthwhile here. Frankly, I have been somewhat surprised at the responses this great jaket debate has received. If Mr. Botright modifies his current patterns to get closer to some of the movie jackets, what will your detractors say then? I know what I will say. Good work Patterson! Regards, Steve
