Ahh... well, "used to have" and "have" are different! :laugh: Yeah, they used to have a message board together, but they don't anymore. That had to have been about three or four years ago, no? Maybe even five?
It's hard to imagine that the Ledge itself has been around (in one form or another) for SEVEN years now. I seriously lose track of time until I'm reminded of something like that. :shocked: :o
Anyway, Travis still pops in around here once in a while, though I haven't noticed him lately. George stays in touch through emails. :)

Imagine if you have a weak heart, & you hear from your idol to CEASE & DESIST publishing a harmless little fanzine. That's disgusting.

I've never seen 'Platform,' but I've heard of it, and I've heard of what happened between Jean and Ginny, and about Jean's passing.
That really is absolutely horrible. And it's a damn shame that Ginny damaged fan relations so badly. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you (or feeds you by proxy)!
It seems that Stevie has had bad judgement in picking people to represent her, or act as artist-fan liasons, on more than one occasion.
I think it's a situation where she gives someone a job out of kindness or generosity, and then finds out they were the wrong choice after damage has already been done.
Of course, she's also not the only member of FM to have made that mistake!!
