Would this include all actors who ever appeared on any of the
shows or in any of the movies?  Just the principals?  Who?  I
hope the former; I would like to hear if John DeLancie, for
instance, were to appear in some other show.

And the VISA card?  :-)

In other words, Mike Okuda would have to submit it himself,
instead of talking to someone else who would submit it?  At first
blush, this sounds too restrictive.  After all, very few of these
"first-hand" people read USENET News, isn't that so?

What is the usual method for choosing a moderator?  Didn't Kyle
Jones also offer to moderate?

I will be on vacation for two weeks, and so will be mum on the
subject for that time, but Jim's proposal sounds okay to me.
