Michael,

In addition to other forum members who have been doing their best to diffuse this negatively escalating situation (thank you all!)I wanted to specifically commend you on your brilliant defense of LC, Robert Kory, and AEG
viewtopic.php?f=44&t=20757&start=375#p214910
How quickly some forget what they have accomplished to date as a team.

Kindest regards,
Mary

(P.S. I only wish you had put Jarkko into this, as we all know that besides some of what is being said on the forum, this poor gentleman is being bombarded with PMs and emails for information. Jarkko, sorry you have to deal with all this.)

I think it loses something in the translation. For a start, how did you get the little extra dash and zero on top of the letters ? My keyboard don't do thingies.

Aren´t you busy with loads of tea and coffee??? :roll: ;-)

To answer your question ... I have a Danish keyboard, as these are standard letters here...

Actually, I think you can get them by using the insert-function.

Yes, they have been pretty much spot on so far and no one is denying that, but what reasonable excuse is there for not making an announcement as soon as they know a concert is going to be cancelled or postponed, and for continuing to sell tickets and continuing to let people who don't read this forum make travel and accomodation arrangements that cannot be changed or refunded? If you can think of any good reason for withholding information about a tour postponement or cancellation, for any reason, please do share it with us :?

You will have to tell the story sometime, but now I will have to go to bed, as we´re travelling tomorrow.

Goodnight!

I can think of lots of good reasons, personal and business reasons, but I think there is enough speculation and do not wish to add to it.
Jarkko has already said that when it is announced we will all understand, I like to believe what he says.
