himiko, I am glad you touched base with us, and am a little saddened about
your disappointment.
Unfortunately, Lost is like a novel in progress, and until the end, the
writers can modify the course they are taking.
If Lost was a book, I would have already jumped ahead to the last chapter,
and spoiled the ending for everyone, including the money keepers at ABC.
Hope you can at least stay with us in spirit, and good to hear from you.
