Wow Frank, Well stated! I can't argue with that.

Actually, NO, with the available evidence (i.e. NOTHING said from TLC so far), it is correct, not wishful thinking.

Todd, Let's face it, if TLC were THAT worried about the pics in the retailer catalog getting out there, they wouldn't release it so early. It's not rationalizing, it's flat out common sense.
