All due respect Foxy Mop for the good you do with your foundation and bringing fans together, but that term just doesn’t fit. To see you spotlight it gives it acceptance and that scares me. I dismissed the Entertainment Weekly usage factoring in sensationalism and ignorance. But when someone with your credibility and influence accepts it, it may end up sticking. You see I canceled my Tiger Beat subscription decades ago. Bobby Sherman is so yesterday. Also, that term brings back awful memories of hundreds of teen age girls with pleading desperate faces screaming EDDIE, EDDIE throughout concerts.

Rock on, carry on, over and out.

No worries! I'm not pissed or offended or anything That's my point... I'm all about acceptance. I accept that you and others don't like the term Jamily (which I mentioned in the first post "for lack of better term") and have since removed it from the post title.. just as I accept that some people don't mind it at all. To me, it's just a term, a word. It doesn't define me, or bother me.

In the long run, the title of the Yearbook will be voted on by all of us fans and I hope you and everyone who hates it, votes against it. Those who want it, vote for it. And if you have other ideas for a title, nominate them to be voted on too! All I care is that you vote and participate in the creation process and we get a good consensus of what the majority of the fans want.

Unfortunately there will always be people who aren't happy/satisfied with the results. But we, as always, will do our best to try to accommodate and make as many people as we can happy

So.... be passionate and participate!
