A message I received from Jack
I had an email from Between the Scenes Jack overnight and thought I'd share it with you along with my reply.

I'll take a look at my notes and see what I can come up with if you really think it's needed. I thought adding that would be overkill (pardon the expression) but I do have one reader who found the current ending frustrating. For his sake I might tweak reality a bit, if you don't mind. Again, this will have to wait until I don't have so much work. Some of us don't have all the time in the world to play around. ;)
