i'm not going to get into a critique of other boards because basically it is not helpful, but the spreading of conspiracy theories doesn't help anyone. we should be extremely grateful to Michael for keeping a small pocket of fans updated. Sure there is some advantage because it creates a bit of a buzz but it is an inefficent way of getting the message out there.
there would be as many people (at least) who know of Stapp's solo album and that took a couple of t.v apperances vs quite a few posts on differing message boards. Stapp's way is more efficient but you have to admire the Tremonti's for keeping us updated with more in-depth information in a more grass roots fashion. Lets face it we would be buying it anyway, there is no need to convert the brand loyals. memo to Michael I love the song title Metalingus keep it!
