Someone want to fill me in on the Ginny story. I know that she was SN's snail mail lady but I don't much else about her. Do tell. I did not have internet access until 1995.

I'm very interested, too.

There's really not much of a STORY to be told about Ginny. She took Stevie's fan mail, and email for years and would respond. If you sent a letter to her, to give to Stevie she often would. In the beginning she would send out a lot of signed pics from Stevie and things like that. She definetely was always a little odd in my opinion, and I only came into the community toward the end of her "career." However I did correspond with her through email a lot. The best thing about her really was she gave the best "inside info" on what Stevie would be doing, and stuff.
She had a car accident, went even more wacko, quit her job (or got fired who knows) and that's about all she wrote!

I'm interested in the "went even more wacko" part.

Wow, I'd almost forgotten about her. It's been awhile.

Wwweeellll... This is what I remember:

I recall a woman named Esther who started out on The Enchanted email list back when Michael Stephens ran it (c. 1998.) During one of that list's infamous battles, she got kicked off. Then she started posting on the alt.stevie.nicks newsgroup and promptly made a few friends and more enemies over there. Just about the time "Esther/Essie" "disappeared" along came "Ginny" on the newsgroup. Speculation was that Esther learned how to change names on her AOL account and was posting as Ginny because they both had very similar posting personalities. Actually, Esther was thought to have used several account names at the newsgroup. The real Ginny stopped being the email answer lady (remember her website cafe kamano?) right around the time Esther started posting under other names at the alt.stevie.nicks, so she had everyone believing she really was Ginny at first, but then she started weirding out and I think that's how people came to believe that the real "Ginny" weirded out. Esther lived in the same town as I do. She and I were supposed to meet up a couple of times. The first time she didn't show, she emailed me and said she'd gotten too drunk and couldn't find the place. The second time, she met up with some guy named Jeff and both of them blew me off. (where's that smiley with the middle finger?)

Personally, I emailed the real Ginny a half-dozen times and found her to be a very compassionate person. What happened was that with the release of the Enchanted box set and tour and more people on the internet, she got hammered with Stevie email. She did it all on a volunteer basis, for years. And I believe she worked in the health care field. Her daughter got married on Maui and the car accident, all happened just before she quit. Right around that time is when John was really ramping up nicksfix. Next thing you know, Ginny posted her resignation notice and said that John was going to be handling more of the day to day informational postings to do with Stevie's career, etc. Lo and behold nicksfix became "official." Not long after that Silver Springs Emporium closed and things as we knew it changed forever....

I miss those days, it was a simpler time... (can you hear the Mayberry RFD theme song whistle in the background?)

So that's what I remember about Ginny. I hope she is doing well. I honestly believe she was and still is a good person. Her "room" is posted over on the nicksfix. She also sees Stevie backstage when she's in town. Last I heard was at the Sun Theater in Anaheim. There may have been others. And I seem to recall Stevie went to her daughter's wedding.

thanx for typing this all out, man you got it spot on~

Ginny & her cronies from bellsouth.net destroyed the Stevie Nicks newsgroup, which had just been created a few years before, by trolling & harassing the regs into fleeing.

No problem. When it comes to stuff like the Ginny controversy, I feel a need to express and my feelings about stuff like this are usually right. If I can neutralize any bad vibes going out on someone I feel is right with the universe, then I do it because I can't not.

Wait a sec, Laura ... you mean absolving Ginny of all trolling & harrassment blame (when her IP address was traced a thousand times) & pinning it on Esther Cottrell is neutralizing the bad vibes??

Well regardless of what you say it is KNOWN that Ginny was trolling on the newsgroups at that time..it's not just speculation.

Absolving is not the same as neutralizing. I simply stated the facts as I knew them based on my own experiences and gut feeling of the people involved. By the way, is your middle name Al? I didn't trace anyone's IP address... did you? I wouldn't know how to verify that it was the Real Ginny's IP address even if I had traced it. I would never believe it really was Ginny trolling and harrasing unless a legitimate person like John Kinney stated that Ginny freaked out and was let go. Eegad the Nyquil is really kicking in... I hate having the flu.
