I agree completely, which is why all the Megumi hate (reflected from Ranka hate) on this site irked me to no end. Thankfully, it seems to have settled down somewhat.

True, true...which is why I pointed out that my evidence is completely circumstantial. I've been lucky enough to talk to quite a number of Macross fans at a number of events, and I go to a lot of stores and see what merchandise they display. The most I've ever seen is a mild preference for Sheryl. Again, I'm not saying my word is law, or that it's anything scientific...I'm just saying that's what I've seen. It was my observations,
clearly labelled as my observations. That's fair, isn't it?
