Hey Matt, I'm glad you vented your feelings here on
TT, 'cause I feel the same way.

I joined TT back in late '96, and while we did have
the occassional "flame war", conversations were always
pretty civil compared to the official MB nowadays.  I
liked that we could all have differing opinions, and
we could all live with that and still be a cohesive
community.  I hate to see garbage fans at each others'
throats when we should all be celebrating the band.

Anyway, I fell out of the trash-talk loop somewhere
between albums/tours.  I rejoined a couple times, but
kept losing track for one reason or another.  I
finally rejoined again a couple days ago, now that
yahoo gives me a ridiculous amount of email storage
space, so hopefully I won't disappear any time soon.

For anyone who may remember, I started out here with
the handle "Blitz" (silly name, but I was 16 at the
time, and it was my handle at the local lasertag place
:P ).  I changed it to "Shirley's Advocate" for a
while, but for the past 5 years or so my handle
everywhere has been "GarbageOtaku".

I don't know how many old trashers are left on here,
but I'd love to see the list pick up again.  I had the
pleasure of a chance meeting with Stephanie, Molly,
Mike, and Elfie last time the band headlined in Philly
(at the Electric Factory).  Man did that feel like a
blast from the past, when the garbage fanbase was full
of love and good vibes ;)
