(fax) The last word

[Ambient]

Anyone wonder about the female in question?

Since (almost) no-one would have thought she was female I can imagine that's
not good for someone's self-esteem, let's hope she's no listmember.

Which statement in particular were you referring to, the first or the
second, or both?

It sounds bad out of context now that we know the cover is of a female, but
if you reread my original email with the premise that it is a male, it's a
valid set of observations and questions I made.

I never tried to say what or what not PK should be doing with his label!
I just wondered why he chose to do it the way he did and question (assuming
it was a male on the cover) his choice based on 1st year marketing basics.
I was also interested in hearing what other people thought.

I never once said PK "should not be doing this or that", or that it was bad.
I was simply wondering why the choice was made.

But it's all completely moot now that we know it was a female.

My position on this is that if Pete wanted to be involved in discussions
related to this list, he would subscribe and post to this list.  I'm pretty
sure he doesn't want to be bombarded by emails from his fans everytime they
have a question, comment or criticism!  For a 1000 pressing release that's a
potential 1000 fans and 1000+ emails!  He's indicated in the past (the
detroit radio show on FAX that time comes to
mind) that he likes to keep somewhat private to spend his time working on
music, and I respect that choice.  Maybe one day we'll see him here, and
that would be pretty nice.  It would certainly help set the record straight
and stop some of the speculation on many issues (and I'm not referring
particularly to this one).
