yes, I agree here 100% .. I can only imagine what might have happened if=
 members from the Prodigy or the Chemical Brothers would have been on the=
 list quite a few years back ;)

Well, I don't agree here 100%. It could be in their best interests to=
 leave, but the thing about celebrities having to be seperated from their=
 public, I don't agree.

Bochum Welt hangs out in the EfNet #aphextwin channel in IRC, and once when=
 I was there. I was talking, and he right out introduced himself to me. I=
 knew who he was of course, coz I heard that he hangs out there..

That's not exactly what I'd call seperation, and there doesn't seem to be=
 some kindof secret club there. I even vaguely remember hearing about a=
 couple Hollywood celebrities who are open with their public. Of course,=
 this is very vague and could be erroneuos, but.. I think that celebrities=
 don't need to hide, unless it's some kind of mindless mob who will forever=
 pursue them trying to rip the shirts off their back, or in this case, send=
 them countless e-mails :)

I'd like to think that the people on this list wouldn't do that to Ae or=
 any other artist.. Some dealings with RDJ in the past here proved this?=
 Not sure since I can't possibly know how many private responces he got or=
 anything.
