Subject: The X-Files wants (needs?) Dick Weltz

As many of you know, the opening credits of _The X-Files_ ends with a
large centered all-caps "THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE". Sometimes the tag
changes when appropriate to the episode; tonight's involved Nazis, and
the tag was "DIE WAHRHEIT IST" something; "the truth is out there" auf
Deutsch.

But it also included the most shocking and horrifying thing I've seen
on _The X-Files_ in six years: an eszett in an all-caps setting.

Write your local Fox affiliate and tell them you're shocked and
outraged.
