Re: Wondering about general statistics about this site... - the answer
We all know that there are at least 200,000 + Morrissey fans out there, and probably many more now who are still fans but don't buy albums any more due to rising costs, at least rising UK costs e.g. Pet Shop Boys at 15.99 (or 30 dollars for those of you reading this note in the US.)
So, in response to Harsh Truth, Morrissey has a hell of a lot of fans including both me and you. For web fans only, well at least 10000 visitors must come here, to this site alone. And not forgetting a similar number (but not always the same people) that visit our friends at Morrissey-Tour. Probably less visitors (1000) to the other Morrissey and Smiths sites in the internet world at large. Last but not least, we should not forget the few extra pirates (1 or 2 majors) who go to Mrs Shankly along with many 100s of genuine fans.
Harsh Truth - At one stage someone had a good idea for producing a Morrissey mailing list. It looked like a good idea to me, for getting news (or some news), concert info, posters, plus clues to the contents of the next album(s) - all in your inbox and thanks to the internet post service.
The best thing would be if that list could be secretly created by users here sending off emails into the ether, and then managed and updated by someone responsible.
