I guess I kinda see it that way as well.
Although I have to say that w/ the other 4, it's doubtful they'd wanna do it directly w/ us, they'd maybe want a middleman/manager etc to be involved, which makes things complicated...I'm not the kind of person to deal w/ managers. Plus they all have thier own sites/venues in which to do it. (Sadly, though, they aren't really getting done!!) The other people I asked were more 'peripheral people', that were on the sidelines for years but who must have tons of info/memories.
I will admit that in the beginning, boy, we did not do them as well as we could. I recently told a friend here at the ledge that we sent poor Jeremy running from his computer in terror LOL. Probably the way Chris may be running from hers regarding her own Q&A!

She did a lot of research and the book looked at that time less from the soap opera aspect and more from the music perspective. She didn't harp on the romance angle and rarely mentioned the drugs.
Her kudos to you, Marty and the Penguin were wonderful. She seemed genuinely impressed at the vast amount of information on this site.

I also enjoyed her book, and she did have nice things to say about the site. All the credit was appreciated. I think we were a bit hurt though--being that she used a lot of material from us- that the publisher didn't contact us earlier than the release of the book to market it; they just sent info to us along w/ everyone else. Another site then quickly got exclusivity rights to it, which was fine, but now that that time period is over the publisher is sort of wanting us to market the book at this time. Marty had a few choice words about that LOL. I dunno. I guess I'm being immature by not jumping at the chance...petty, perhaps...
But in any case, it was lovely to receive the acknowledgement from Cath Carroll. Credit is nice to get. Unlike in another thread, the whole 'Bob Welch interview' from some Dec 2004 publication-- I think much of it is from our Q&A w/ him!! I thought it sounded familiar LOL. But no credit...odd that folks can just lift stuff and call it their own.
Oh well.
