I think it is terrible that people have been flaming you for what you
related. But I have to say that I think it is outrageous that you would
threaten to destroy their hard drives and get them kicked off their server.
 This is absolutely unacceptable. I've only been on this list for a couple
of weeks, and I've seen a little immaturity, but really, can't we all grow
up a little?

I am amazed that you are complaining about being flamed, even though YOU
KNEW IT WOULD HAPPEN,. If you didn't know, then why did you set up a
buffer account.

You knew people would be hurt and upset by what you conveyed.

Hey, everyone, keep in mind that the whole point of this thing is to TALK
to eachother. To CONVEY IDEAS. Yes, lets talk about the music, the
meaning.

In any case, if, as you say, this story about the memo is true, it is still
possible that the memo is wrong, or some sort of hoax within the compay.

The band WILL break up one day. But lets just hope for better and better
albums till then. As for re-releases, I think they are a bore. Someone
asked me how I liked the "B-sides/Best Of", and I told them it was so-so.
I mean, they just took a bunch of good songs (and a couple of mediocre ones
like "When Love Comes to Town"), stuck them in a blender, and gave them a
new order. They did not include the long album verion beggining of
WTSHNoName, and I had all the songs except Endless Deep and the new verion
of Sweetest Thing (on the whole, an inferior version, I think (and FEEL!)).

Enough of this ridiculous flaming. And Mr. Poptician - I know you
understand that you are playing with people's deepest emotions. You should
ask for an apology from all the flamers - and you should get one. But I
think you should apologize for resorting to threats. Its not cool man.

Stay cool.
