Subject: Re: When is Creed coming to <hicktown> USA? And various other rants

    No kidding, huh?  I mean, it's not like it says it right there on the page the people have to go to in order to subscribe... in fact, as I recall, it states that the band does NOT post here or read the posts.  So why the hell would people constantly be sending questions to the band here?

    And the other thing that irks me right now is the 3 or 4 mails a day that I get privately asking when I'm coming to their town, or why I kicked Brian from the band, or if I could sign something and send it back to them, or (the classic) can they have Backstage passes... like I'm not busy enough without having to cater to every single request from a list member that fails to read the FAQ and the "Read this before joining" page at creed.com or the same e-mail that I actually send to the list once a week covering all this.

    I've been saying it for 2 years now, and it hasn't changed yet.... Wind-Up needs to start screening people before letting them on the list... some sort of IQ exam or something... where the questions would be along the lines of "name all the past, and present members of the band, including those that are only there for the tour" and "Do you understand that Brian is gone, and will not be coming back?" and "can you count to 20 without having to remove your shoes and socks?".

    What do you say Ed... think we could set something like that up?  Maybe have the questions open to list members to submit... it worked great on creedtalk, and we got to know the new people at the same time.
