I'm not sure where the anger / ire came from in this post. And I don't want to
start a flame war.
I post to other groups under different names (mostly movies and docs) on as
request basis. Yes, some come from my collections of rips (50 Tb+) or other
sources. And I am familar with the folks at W4F and most of their posts wind up
on torrent in very short order.
All I wanted to know was whether any had or knew what had happened with those
episodes since the Wikopedia listed them, but not the total number of episodes
this season.
Why the tone? Or am I misreading your mood?
