RE: BSG 2003 was Re: The NAC Navy Hymn

I fully understand that (not that I don't think that it was a fine thing

for you to point out).	The point is, from my standpoint, that while
yes, 
it's an old, should-have-been-decomissioned ship, it makes for a less...

confrontational setting for the series.

I fully expect that this is going to be mostly about spying and sabatoge

with some running away thrown in.  Perfectly justifiable, but will it be

*fun*?
