I'm setting here wondering who the Wire fink is.
Somebody has to be complaining for warning messages on
content to go out. That is...unless somebody is sending
out phony warning messages. I wonder? We get some wackos
on Wire sometimes.

That's possible. :) LOL.
Or maybe the family is enjoying a vacation while Bono and the
rest of the band is working in the South of France. (Now that
sounds strange...*working* in the South of France!)

I don't know, I saw some photos of the boys while they were signing
autographs or going in or out of restruants/hotels. I think it's
just a lot easier to get photos at concerts, you got 'em cornered
there. You know where they are and you don't have to hunt for
them:) If you have a good camera and a great zoom lense, you
can get lots of great photos. The rarer non-concert shots get lost
in the hundreds of concert shots. Usually the show ones are
more interesting anyway. All the candied shots from chance
meetings tend to look the same. One of the guys in their street
clothes being nice and smiling and a bunch of happy people I don't
recognize crowded around them.

Ya know, I think the psycho stalkers your talking about there
are easy to distinguish from just ye regular obsessed U2 fans
like us:) These people of really self-centered and out for their
own gradification. They don't really care for the well being or
happiness of the person they're mistakenly called a fan of.
They have no empathy with others or they'd never do what they do.
I don't even know if they consider the person they stalk
a "real" person. They're a whole other species than the real fans.
bye,
Robbie
