... Talk about re-mastering and re-doing the same thing over and over?? ???

Very annoying
I do think it is just a glitch, but one can never tell these days. In the meantime, I'm trying to bump threads to the top to get rid of the other repeated threads. That would be the only way to know for sure I guess, unless the author posts something here.
And not to squash someone's opinion, but hasn't the whole "So Remastering and Remastering and Remastering" topic been on here in multiple places, topics, multiple times with multiple arguments? I'm just not sure what we get out of it all -- certainly we can each acknowledge our opinions and yes, it is good to know that many feel the same way, but me thinks it's a bit too late to think that anything in the package is going to change at this point . . . perhaps in the next remastering package, they'll get it right. 
Ha ha!
Yet one more thing for fans to be upset about, I guess. Sorry that they didn't use any of your material, perhaps they meant to but it might have gotten shelved with some other ideas and plans. The fact that you have 100 pictures (and more, I'm sure) of So memorabilia is quite impressive -- perhaps you can share it somewhere here? I'm sure many of us would love to see it and be a bit envious of your collection -- I know it's not the same as having it published, but we lunatics make a great audience

Kind regards,

Kind regards,Do you remember the PG Facebook page promised some time ago a pair of microphones Peter used during the New Blood tour...Nothing happened. I begin to understand it's a way to create the buzz, but nothing else.
Oh those pesky computers eh? 
This marketing thing is also annoying to me- or- boring.
No fullmoon reports any more, but lots of merchandising. OK, they have to earn their money, but it's a style I don't like, anonym and not handled with care.
What Sammy told, is not fair to him .
I stopped sending anything for PG himself (handmade prints, scarf and cap, ceramics, e-mailed fotos,....)- never a reaction, perhaps a taken inspiration, ..I don't like that. Don't know, who takes that all.
No good style, I have to say. Really no good..

No good style, I have to say. Really no good..I'm not really sure what happened with all of that (for the SO project) either and you're right, it does seem rather strange that it wasn't used. From what you can tell (without giving it all away because I haven't received mine yet and would like to have a bit of a surprise ), but from your package, does it appear as if anything was used from the fans? -- Just wondering if only some things were chosen and not others? Also, is there anything written about it in credits, etc.?
For R.I.S.E. -- I can understand your frustration also and I think it's true of the current RW team -- I imagine that a few years ago (when Tina left) that during those changes that were made, they had decided that there would no longer be one person devoted to PG fans, correspondence, receiver of gifts, quiz maker, etc. -- I, also, really miss those days and the contact that we seemed to have with PG.
At the time that Tina left, I think a decision was made that it would be a good time to have a person take over the handling of correspondence (Rachael), but that it would no longer be the sole job of someone to respond personally to each and ever piece of mail (regular and/or e-mail) -- which is how it had always been from the beginning. It's understandable that one person cannot handle all the correspondence that PG must get these days (sorta makes me long for the old days when he had just a cult following ).
During that time (a few years ago), RW was going through some changes and that's when they listed the "Important Information" (under the FAQs section -- listed below here under Details about us). In the meantime, I think they (RW) try to do what they can to keep in contact with fans, but as you've noted, it's just not the same.
I wish that we still had the quiz and/or contests from time to time, I wish there was another Tina-type person (or better yet, Tina, herself! ). This is not to criticize Rachael, who I'm sure does a great job.
As for gift-giving and wondering what happens to them -- I honestly have never given it any thought. I still will periodically send a gift when the spirit moves me, but honestly, I have never really sent gifts to PG, himself (other than a special birthday gift which a few of us lunatics went in on). My gifts have always been to the people with whom I've had contact -- Penny, Tina, etc., -- and they're usually edible -- chocolates , so if they don't use them, it's their loss 
(and of course, if they choose to eat them, it's their "gain" ).
Kind regards to all
