It seems that it's the money that counts most with HBO. I think we should do a one-two-(three? four?)-punch. When the DVD comes out we (one) buy the DVD to show our love for JOHN and that we are willing to pay for it as we said in our Variety ad, and (two) cancel HBO the same day you buy the DVD. Thus we are saying we will only pay if we get want we want. This could be coordinated with, say, "bird seed" shipments and if we work with the Deadwood fans we would be a greater force to be reckoned with.
It's very good with what you are doing right now.
