Thank you for all the wonderful acting and signning. It was most certainly unique, and greatly appreciated!
I had purchased the album: Spaced Out: The Best of Leonard Nimoy and William Shatner, and was looking forward to have you sign it at the August 2002 convention in Las Vegas. Unfortunately, a few of us who had the same idea in mind could not follow through after we had learned that you and Nimoy were both charging around $60-80 dollars per signature each!
My question is why do you charge for signatures from your fans? If I would have had you and Nimoy sign the CD it would have cost me over 160$USD + the price of the CD, for something I was not planning to resell (such as the pigs on eBay)... without adding value to the CD, other than being appreciated as a fan, with a precious keepsake.
I listen to the CD every once in a while, and think your singing is seriously something I enjoy. Thank you for everything, I enjoy watching you and listening to you (non-psychotically of course)!
