I don't see how she can form an opinion at all. She doesn't know, and
hasn't even met, 99.9% of us personally.

She's also getting a huge amount of free publicity on all aspects of her
work via this newsgroup - and particularly Gaffaweb - virtually all of
it being in a very positive vein. Far from being frightened by it I
would think that she must be rather pleased and even rather touched.

Furthermore, whatever her reasons are for not touring I am not aware of
her ever saying that it is because she is afraid of her fans!

Really?. Just how do you know what a 'cadre of devil worshippers" say
anyway? :-)

I've no idea. Is she? Do tell us. You seem to know so much about her.

Well...she did say that she thought we were all completely mad, so I
guess I'd have to concede that possibility. :-)

Actually, I'd say that someone who writes to a newsgroup only to slag
off the people who contribute to it (who do so out of an admiration and
love of the artist concerned) is the one more likely to be suffering a
profound emotional disorder.
