Hmm... I've always thought that the only way this "celeb"/punter
thing is going to work on mailing lists is if the artists go into
it with a fairly thick skin. Putting your name behind a posting
always carries a certain degree of commitment and risk, and
if people start self-censoring because they're afraid of hurting
a musician (or label owner/rep)'s feeling then I think
we've lost something.
