I have some thoughts, if you'll indulge me.

I certainly got good value from LAN. I fully get how the format doesn't seem to lend itself to V4V, which is really a format itself. But I don't believe that means it is not possible...

I'm a Jupiter Party member and I like to stream SATs, and boost from time to time. Even so, I try to be realistic. Do I font feel "entitled" to the LAN I "pay for". That's a really easy mental trap, or misapprehension, to fall into. But I realize my subscription is not a "purchase". It is what it says on the tin. Support for the network as a whole. I don't feel "cheated". Rather, it helps focus me on how much value I continue to get from the network -- and I like all the shows -- and

I was saying... The loss of LAN helps drive home the importance of supporting the network, especially through these trying times.

In the meantime, however, it could be good for the crew to carry a slightly lighter load during the summer news drought anyway. Not everything that seems "bad" in the moment is necessarily so.

I have ideas on how a show like LAN could also incorporate V4V without trampling over the current format. But I think I'll write it up offline where I can organize my thoughts. To be continued.
