| I always enjoy a good post as long as it contains some of the following: A: subtle humor B: something involving my interests C: has paragraphs that are 3-4 sentences in length D: mentions feet (lol) E: brings up something fascinating I havnt heard before. > I know that some of the things in this post have been > mentioned in other threads but I wanted to just write one > long and probably dull reply to various different points > and add some new information that hasn't yet been > discussed. So please forgive me for starting a new > thread. > > Especially consider that some of the posts I want to reply > to are now almost at the bottom of the page. Very few > posters will read them. > > I was horrified when I clicked on the so called Jim > Steinman Twitter link. There are things which Jim is meant > to have said that he would never say. For example, one > addition that was posted the day after the Twitter thread > below. It said (pretending to be Jim): "Hung with 'Loaf > today, man can that guy party. New song idea - biker tries > to settle down, can't, loves the road too much? Still > rough." > > This is absolute crap. It's not even the way that Jim > talks. > > Someone suggested that it is either Ryan or Susan behind > it (I am allowed to mention Susan because someone down the > page brought her up). Well I know almost for certain that > Ryan is not behind it. He is too intelligent. What would > he have to gain from posting this kind of stuff? It is not > the kind of thing that would turn Ryan on. And I don't > think it was Susan either. I have recieved hundreds of > emails from her and read hundreds of her posts and web > pages and it just isn't her style. She doesn't come up > with strange ways of saying things. She believes the > things she says and she is not actually trying to fool > anyone. She thinks that what she says is true, unlike the > idiot who is pretending to be Jim on Twitter. > > I don't know why nothing can be done about these things. > On the page before this one (click "older messages"), Ryan > talks about the time he went to Jim's lawyer Howard Siegal > (spelling?) over some posters posting libel about Jim on > the board. > > Well, maybe Howard should take some action to get this > Twitter page removed.
