    Thank you Grits for bringing something so important to our attention. Consider it done. A small task, there is no one that deserves it more than Bill Bowen, and I would love to see him get it.

    I put in my two cents also. This is a great idea!

    Has anyone else received an email confirmation that your nomination was indeed received?

    Mine was an auto-reply. I'm a mass emailer, so I've seen the differece between an auto-reply and an actual reply.

    Anyone, yet?

    Hello Hello People! I stayed offline for a whopping 24 hours or so, and am so pleased to see all these new posts! THANK YOU to Pat and lv4fer and witchywoman! and, yes, boy oh boy! Wouldn't it be great to see Bill on the show to receive the award! That would be really fantastic. I actually have a "gut feeling" it is very possible!

    SF: I wouldn't think anyone would get a specific reply yet. The auto-reply said they get tons of email. I would imagine it would take them some time to read our suggestions and then do a little investigating on their own BEFORE they would actually reply to anybody. Of course, I don't know for sure how it works, but I am merely guessing. They might get their staff to work on reading the Silent Lambs website and all of the links FIRST, and they might even order videos of Dateline, Panorama, etc. to look at before they make a decision about using Bill as an award recipient. -- And, I hope not, but it could be they already have all their recipients picked for the upcoming TV season; and it may be into the NEXT season before they would have room for more current recipients. Again, I have no idea whatsoever how things work "behind the scenes" at the Oprah show. Just speculating.

    THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE!!! (and now this thread will go BTTT!) ;)

    Kind regards,
    Grits
