Members tim_7string Posted October 15, 2008 Members Share Posted October 15, 2008 I'm thinking that people took that episode of The Simpsons too literally. I already know that the legends and superstars are far too busy to answer mail. Since I hate to just send mail to people and never receive a reply, I only send it to those (via Myspace) that I know will write something back. I guess I'm not one of those people that just hoped their letter was read and that was satisfaction enough. I want proof, dammit. Ah well, I guess Ringo needs his peace and quiet (and love).

Members blue2blue Posted October 15, 2008 Members Share Posted October 15, 2008 I stopped opening my fan mail a long time ago. Half the time it has trojans attached to it and the other half is offering me Viagra. Do I look like I need Viagra? I think not... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members blue2blue Posted October 15, 2008 Members Share Posted October 15, 2008 I know they love me -- they must because they're in constant contact -- but obviously they are not careful about their personal security, judging from the high rate of infection of their emails, and their image of my needs is highly skewed. They apparently think I'm a randy old man alternately searching for Viagra and someone to use it on. You'd think if they were so devoted, though, that they'd read my blog and know I'm really just looking for sunset dinner specials and a senior discount at the guitar shop.

Members WrdsNmuzik Posted October 15, 2008 Members Share Posted October 15, 2008 how the mighty have fallen . . . . unconfirmed rumor, he's cutting back on his support staff due to bad investments.... and doesn't he look like a cranky ol' grandpa in the video message? maybe he should run for presidint.

Members Music Calgary Posted October 16, 2008 Members Share Posted October 16, 2008 Howard Stern theorized this is Ringo's attempt to get *some* fan mail. He's also considering arranging a massive last-minute blitz of fan mail to Ringo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my emails are letting me know about the sexy singles in my area who want to meet me or the brand new pet nail trimmer that I need to buy. Only problem is I'm married and I don't have a pet.

Members monstermaker Posted October 17, 2008 Members Share Posted October 17, 2008 I bought the pet nail trimmer because it's endorsed by Ringo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tedster Posted October 18, 2008 Members Share Posted October 18, 2008 I find it amazing to think that Ringo gets a lot of fan mail these days. 30 years ago I'd say yeah, but these days? But what the hey, good for ol' Ringo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members techristian Posted October 20, 2008 Members Share Posted October 20, 2008 The advertisers send me "fan mail" every day. They also want me to do things for them like send them money or my bank account number. I also throw it in the trash. It is a good thing that my spam filters work or I would need to read through 1000 titles a day. I know the feeling. I can't believe that Ringo has been replying to these for the past 40 years.

Members the stranger Posted October 20, 2008 Members Share Posted October 20, 2008 I literally just last night went through over a thousand spam emails doing some neglected deletion in my yahoo account. Never put these things off until later. And do I have my spam filter on? I had to turn it off because a good percentage of legitimate mail (mostly from interests outside the two party spectrum) was going in the spam bin. I wonder how that happened?
