I am with the drive to bring Firefly back to the small screen, 100%.

I don't have the internet and organizing know-how, however, that we seem to need.

I was the 319 person to sign the petition. It seemed a Quixotic effort, but I wanted to "suit up and show up."

These numbers do not reflect our base.

How do we generate a document that: A) gets the attention of the full fan community, vs. being one rapidly outdated thread among hundreds or thousands; B)reflects the full population of Browncoats (without any clever revoting, etc.); and C) can effectively be used as an intelligent way of communicating with the powers-that-be/*businesspeople* of television.

Long on ideas and passionate words; short on concrete technical know-how.

We need a fusion of technical competence and business acumen. Online enthusiasm is fun, but seems to be preaching to the choir.

i agree w/ haze; middle aint so bad. another thing thats been on my mind: it seems like everywhere i look, theres tons of people saying "wow, this sucks, we'll never ever ever get it back", and tons more saying "huzzah we're sure to get it back". im not gonna pretend to know anything about networks, cause i dont, but it seems to me that the only thing to do is keep trying. i highly doubt that we're particularly close to much of anything, but if we're persistant, who knows, stranger things have happened. what upsets me is the number of people who seem to be giving up. i mean, ok, sure, its gonna be tough, and its POSSIBLE that nothing will happen at all, but WE SHOULD STILL TRY! if noone does anything, nothing will happpen, but if we bother to actually give it our best effort and try and try and then KEEP trying, like, forever, sooner or later someone is bound to notice that, hey, its actually a good show. with a ready-made audience. as far as im concerned, as long as whedon and all 9 actors/actresses are ALIVE, there is hope. so keep fighting.

As for spelling/grammer mistakes, I really didnt find any when I reviewed the petition except in the updates. If you found any, tell me.

Unfortunately, there's no way for me to edit the petition or it's updates now that it has signatures, but I'll consider making a new one if enough such mistakes are pointed out.

"Grammer" should be "grammar".

"Didnt" should be "didn't" (a contraction of "did not").

"It's" (in this usage) should be "its".

I didn't read the petition, but a quick scan over a few lines of your post here turned up three grammatical/spelling/syntax errors. Run the petition through a spell-checker, then have an English teacher proofread it for syntax errors, since spell-check usually doesn't catch mistakes like "their" for "there" (or even "they're"), since they're all words, and correctly spelled... even if incorrectly used.

Don't take this the wrong way; it is intended to HELP you polish the product to have a good petition to send along. I'm a mere warehouse worker, but I also abhor misuse of the English language. To me, a well-written piece with correct grammar, spelling, syntax, etc., will get you a lot farther than something that looks like you typed it up after a long night of drinking and carousing.

Good luck in your endeavor; I too would LOVE to see Firefly come back to television.

Grrrrr. Arrrgghh.
