Okay, let me expand/expound a bit more. First off, thanks much for all the nice comments. Second, Karla makes some great points. My thought was that the 'no money' disclaimer might work in a reverse-psychology kind of way: you know--Please don't throw me in that briar patch!!!!!
I also paused at the idea of directing them to 'our' website, and ideally having a second site would be preferable. As for the length, I'm not in broadcasting or theater arts, so I have no idea how long it would take to read. If it's too long, the first thing I would cut would be the "thank yous" for production and air time towards the end. These could be superimposed in text on the bottom of the screen instead.
Lastly, I posted this idea just to generate some thought and input, so I guess it's working!! All of us contributing ideas can surely improve dramatically on what any one of us might do individually. And as far as that goes, I stole the idea of using a home video from a post I saw here last week or so. Sorry I can't remember who suggested it, but the credit for that part goes to her/him!
