Christine's web site

[David]

How many authorized musician sites are more fun or more thorough than the best fan sites?

The Christine info on the Penguin is excellent. Unless Chris herself wants to coordinate something really nice (like Lindsey's videotaped responses to fan questions) for an authorized site (& that seems to me at best a pipe dream), how would its objectives or accomplishments make it any more worthwhile than this site?

I have no idea how much Internetting Christine does. For all I know, she scopes out her bookmarked sites every morning, afternoon & evening, seven days a week. (I thought my mom had no interest in the Internet -- except for e-mail -- until I saw her Favorites folder in the browser. Can you say chock-a-block?) But based on the fraction of interaction with the public she has shown interest in in the past (like the AOL questions taken live) -- & that seems a reasonable basis on which to ascertain her interest in us, her fans -- I would conclude (reasonably again, I think) that an authorized site probably won't get off the ground, & if it does, probably wouldn't have much worth writing home about.

I think what some fans want is simply e-mail access to Christine, in which case ask Wyatt to ask Chris whether she'd agree to his posting an e-mail addy for her. He could create a new address for her, specifically for the public. She could read or respond however & whenever she wanted to -- just like any personal e-mail.
