Concerning Rich Johnston and his blurb on Gemstone.  Rich is a  known and 
admitted rumor monger.  He admits so by the use of Red,  Yellow, and Green 
traffic Lights the precede each item.  
 
Sometimes his predictions come to pass.  More often than not, they  don't -- 
or we just plain never know, or never seen any manifestation of  the issue.  
Anyone could look at a publisher's cancellation of four  out of six titles and 
pronounced that doom has swept the land.  Even some  of our own members have 
done that!  
 
It must have been a very slow rumor/news week at Marvel, DC, and the  UK 
publishers for Rich to turn his attentions to Gemstone in the first  place.  
 
I hope I'm not speaking out of class - and would rather have someone  
officially address this matter for the DCML... but how can you "let  freelancers 
go"?!  They're FREELANCERS, fer gosh sakes!  There is  naturally less work for 
everyone, when six titles become two - and that means  less freelance work.  As 
for being paid, I can report no difficulties  with the work I've done for 
Gemstone - DuckTales Texts and the Super  Goof backup to "Blotman Returns".
 
So, I think we ought to just leave Rich Johnston to his corner of  the 
blog-world (...where anyone can apparently say anything they please)  until things 
manifest themselves for real.  
 
Just as with the cancellation news, let's keep an even keel on this one as  
well.  
 
Also, I hope you all enjoyed my script for Super Goof.  I added quite  a bit 
to the original bare-bones outline I received.  Feedback is welcome,  if you'd 
like - privately or in this forum.  
 
Joe Torcivia.
