Oh, yeah. BIG distinction there...thanks for clearing that up.
Your conspiracy theories are what sound silly to me right now. You genuinely seem to believe that SW has totally done away with vintage classic clips, show alot of Elmo is done just to annoy you and deprive you of your nostalgic wants.
Bottom line: SW doesn't care what you want, they care what kids want. You say they don't know what kids want (or should want) but how is it that you seem so certain to know what's in kids best interests?
I won't hold my breath waiting for a response.
