[Captain's log, supplemental--Are we orbiting Earth-1 or Earth-2?]

I was thinking recently, with all the negative comments for SW2, that all of
us will be boycotting that title.  I also figured...what if demand for SW2 is
so low that they discontinue it mid-series (i.e. give it the "Void Indigo"
treatment)?  It's just a crazy dream, but it would certainly bring down ol'
Shiiter a few points (or feet, whichever you prefer).  

It probably won't happen, because all the elementary school kids love it.
And they'll go out and buy SW2 -- unless one of them learns Evelyn Wood and
reads it in the store while browsing :-) .

I'll be putting asbestos in my nose while I wait for the next installment of
"At the Bookstore", starring Gene (Jerry) Siskel and Roger (Moriarty) Ebert...

(I just realized I made a typo in the bottom line of the first paragraph.
Heck, I'll let it stand.)
