I see nothing about halting production of scripts to allow for the novel to be written, and the story indicates that the novel will be written by someone outside the Lost writing staff.

Sorry about that. I was just giving you a link about the novel-- I didn’t know anything about the impact it would have on production.

[This Washington Post article looks like it’s the same](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/11/01/AR2005110101628.html) as the one in my original link-- I did have some trouble cutting and pasting it.

RupturedDuck was claiming that writing staff was halting production of scripts to write the novel. It appears that his information, drawn from his vast store of knowledge obtained while loudly refusing to ever watch the show and implying that those who do are wrong for doing so, is incorrect.

Would that be the same Variety that [refers](http://www.google.com/search?q=%22jack+valenti%22+bionic+variety) to Jack Valenti as “the entertainment industry’s bionic emissary”?

\>\> BLAM!! \<\< ::: Moderator pounds gavel for attention :::

**Otto** , your comments are out of line. Again. You may NOT insult any poster in this forum, and you know it.

If you feel that what someone else said was so over-the-top that an insult is required, go to the Pit. Otherwise, the best remedy is to hit the REPORT BAD POST button (the little exclamation point ! in the red triangle in the upper right corner) and let the Moderators handle it.

**Otto** , this is the fifth warning you’ve had for the same offense, namely flaming other posters, in a variety of forums where it is not permitted. You may consider this your LAST warning.
