We read all our own email. Here's a nice one that got our attention:

> YOU ARE ABSOLUTE SELL OUTS

> I USED TO THINK YOU WERE GREAT

> MY FRIENDS ALL BOUGHT YOUR CD

> NOW I WISH THEY HADN'T

> YOUR NEWS COLUMN SHOULD BE PARAPHRASED LIKE THIS"

> Hi T and S fans, we love you, you have brought us

> this far and we don't know how to thank you, here is

> what is new with us and if you would like to oblige

> us with your presence at our show, here is where and

> when we will be playing live"

> YOUR NEWS COLUMN ACTUALLY READS LIKE THIS:

> "Dear measly T and Sers, we are not grateful enough

> so we have gone to the trouble of compiling all the

> radio and video music playing stations in N.A. and

> we have conveniently listed them all here so that

> you will call and ask to hear us played because we

> are sell outs and we would like more money and a

> tour bus and free unmerited promo because obviously

> we can't get it on our own. So after you have

> shelled out your hard earned bucks for our new CD we

> would also like to invite you to host a party with

> us as the theme....blah blah blah"

>

> DO YOU KNOW HOW DESPERATE YOU ARE COMING ACROSS?

> WHY ALIENATE FANS YOU ALREADY HAVE?

> WE CAN'T HELP YOU IF YOU CAN'T HELP YOURSELVES

>

> I GUESS YOU COULD SAY

> "I AM DISSAPOINTED"
