Tomorrow's episode (according to TV Guide) will contain a subplot about Elaine telling Jewish men to give up their faith. Hmmmmmmmmmmm I'm sure to tune in tomorrow to see how this plays! Could it be that some writer or producer has been lurking in this newsgroup and decided to put (as it were ) the kabosh on the "Is Elaine Jewish" thread? Stranger things have been to to happen , especially in the surreal world of NBC!
The Elaine Deconversion Ploy
An episode writer or producer reads alt.tv.seinfeld and incorporated a newsgroup discussion about Elaine's religion into the show's plot.
Fans debate whether writers monitor the newsgroup after learning an upcoming episode features Elaine trying to convert Jewish men away from their faith, with skeptics dismissing the idea as unlikely.

Sheesh. Why do so many people delude themselves into thinking ANYONE at Seinfeld gives a shit about the newsgroup? Good grief...if you want to justify your time here, do it some other way..

No shit, man. Like it would be absolutely impossible for anyone involved with the making of the show to actually own a computer, and have an Internet account. And it doesn't take a genius to locate a.t.s in Usenet. I mean, you're here, right?
In fact, I find it easier to believe that someone from the show gives a shit about this ng, than to believe that anyone on this planet gives a shit about you.

Please take your corners, gentlemen!
Take a deep breath.
Ask yourselves what you have accomplished. Honestly.
You are both quite witty. Can you each acknowledge that about the other?
But were you persuasive? I think not. But then, that wasn't your purpose.
Dave, you are hereby stripped of your honorable mention for civility. You'll have to do better than this to get back on the chart.
MsLiz whose maternal instincts are evoked by adolescent behavior.
Actually, if I may, your Honor. I usually deal with trolls by clicking 'Reply', then writing a scathing rebuttal to 'get it out of my system', then clicking 'Cancel'. Well, I slipped. Maybe it was force of habit, but before I realized it, I had clicked 'Post', and my abusive response was headed straight for the server. From now on, I'll deal with trolls in a different way. Simply stare heavenward, raise my hands to the sky and repeat, "Serenity now!! Serenity now!!" or maybe "Hootchie-mama!!"

Frank! Don't fuck around. Did she really call? Oh no! I'm in ten kinds of trouble. By the way, your mom is going to be late for dinner. She's still in the shower.
Kisses, Tony

I am not sure if the producers of SEINFELD read this news group but it would not surprise me if there aren't people in the production company who do on occasion. I know on one of the services that there were several other shows that the producers did check to see what the viewers thought and often would write notes in return.
I'm not positive but, I think his name is John O'Hurley.
Ha Ha!!! My thought EXACTLY, Tony! I almost pissed myself reading that post about the writers reading the newsgroups! Thank God I was wearing dark pants.
--SS--
Tony is in error when he states that it is hopeless to think that anyone from the Seinfeld cast or crew browses this newsgroup. It isn't uncommon for such a thing to take place either publically or in secret. After all the netsavy want to know how there show is flying in cyberspace.
