My name is Jeff Holland and, as most of you are aware, I have been =
writing the Mike and Ike reviews on this list for the past year.

As with Joe Bob Briggs, another entertainment satirist, I have received =
both good and bad responses to my pieces.  Lately however, the emails =
have been more negative than positive and, not only negative, they have =
been downright nasty and personal, something I have never been in a =
review.  (I will point out that the only local actor I have ever =
criticized is myself).

I thought people got it.

I was wrong.

So, I'm done. =20

To the fans I have, thank you so very much for your support.  It has =
been a joy getting every one of your letters.  At least I know some =
people understood.  If you are interested, please email me at =
rdoughnuts at yahoo.com.  If I get enough responses,  maybe I'll start my =
own e-newsletter for Mike and Ike to review theatre,  movies, books, =
whatever I feel like.

To everyone else,  congratulations.  You won.  You will never see my =
name on this list again.  It's just not worth it anymore.

It's been a fun ride, but now I feel like I'm in Final Destination 3.

Goodbye
