I don't know whether to say that's sad or what. Of course he's gonna get alot of posts. He's Bill Barretta!

I understand though why a Muppeteer would want to stay in the background on these sites though. It must be nice to be able to talk to your fans, without them geting all hyper on you. Of course, I wouldn't know anything about that.:mad:

Of course, to say that the Muppeteers don't come on here would be wrong too. Almost all major actors/actresses check out their fan sites once in a while. I think that's kind of nice of them.

But, I really don't like some of the things that have been said about Frank Oz on here.:mad:

Actually the few actual Muppeteers that are here are pretty quiet, well usually.

That was an utter dsigrace...:frown:

Exactly. Why cant ya curious cats just let be...I think its great people connected to JHC/SW in some way are being nice enough to post insider stuff on here and answering questions. No need to go trying to lift any veils away.

And hmmm, I wonder why JHC folks wouldnt wanna reveal who they are(for the most part) Remember what happened the last few times a current JHC big name stuck their neck out? Exactly...
they just wanna be seen as a regular member without the fanboy fanfare.

finally, should a JHC person decide to reveal who they are one of these days again, I would hope folks have courtesy and decency to just say welcome aboard and not "OMG OMG OMG!!!?!?!?! I CAN TBELIEVE ITS YOU!!!!!!" So yeah, please dont go scaring away our nice visitors:wink:

"Sheesh it's a Henson fansite, not the secret service." Perhaps I need to be clearer. JHC has requested employees don't make public comments on sites such as this. Any information, confidential or not, is a breach of that request. In short, reveal sources, sources disappear.

This problem seems disproportionate to the info I provide. Telling people that Mama Bear gets pregnant is not really worth a grilling.

Of course it is upto any individual if they want to remain anonymous.

For the record, Bill did answer my question.

And he visited the BBB board a few times...

Mmmmmmmmm grilled bear ! :eek: No problem, i think your situation is completely understood by everyone and i'm sure we all extend a furry paw of muppety friendship to you.

Actually i have a question - now that the 250 episode contract of Hoobs has been fulfilled, will there be any more or is that it ?
