================================================ Subject: Re: Another e-mail from Scott Stapp From: "Tara" To: Date: Thu 28 Jun 2001 02:55:56 -0400 ================================================ Personally, I don't know if it was him or not... no way for me to ever find out. I do know that he and the other band members post on the BB, or at least used to... I don't really ever go there, so I don't know if they still do or not. You have a good point about creating an e-mail and then either deleting it or setting it to not receive incoming mail... but also remember that all the web-based Creed stuff has changed a LOT since that e-mail was originally sent. The website is a lot flashier, the list has changed servers at least once, the guy who used to moderate the list and do contests for the listers doesn't anymore... I don't know how it all worked back then, but I know they've done a lot of upgrades to everything since then. *shrug* Anyway, I dunno... I was doubtful when that post originally came through, but I didn't want to dash anyone's hopes that Scott Stapp was really writing to the list, so I kept quiet. I figure it's not likely, but it's not inconceivable, either. Tara ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin L.
